System: NetBSD green-parrot.mcs.vuw.ac.nz 1.5R NetBSD 1.5R (MCS_WORKSTATION) #0: Wed Jan 31 08:13:05 NZDT 2001     mark@turakirae.mcs.vuw.ac.nz:/src/work/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MCS_WORKSTATION i386


>Description:
	When unmounting the filesystems at the end of installing a new current
	machine paniced with:

	panic: ffs_unmount: flush left dirty bufs 0xcaffa8c0
	Stopped in pid 4590 (umount)

	This has happened on 2 out of 2 installs with the new floppy set.

>How-To-Repeat:
	From yesterdays -current sources do a "make release" and then use
	the floppy images to install on a new machine. Install should work
	smoothly until the unmount of the filesystems at the end (just prior
	to going back to the main install menu), at which point panic.
