>Organization:
A.L. Digital Ltd.
>Environment:
NetBSD gnugget 1.5U NetBSD 1.5U (GNUGGET) #2: Mon Apr  9 04:04:30 PDT 2001     root@gnugget:/usr/src/sys/arch/hpcmips/compile/GNUGGET hpcmips

>Description:
startup script sysdb gets boot name from sysctl (sysctl -n machdep.booted_kernel) - 
platforms with spaces in device names such hpcmips may produce something like:

  gnugget-root# sysctl -n machdep.booted_kernel
  \Storage Card2\netbsd

which will cause kvm_mkdb to fail with a usage error.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
apply the following patch...
