Subject: Booter doesn't find ufs slice, neither

In addition to NetBSD/Mac68k v1.1g Installer's failure mentioned in my
Tuesday's mail to netbsd-bugs list, BSD/Mac68k Booter v1.11.3 fails to
load properly formatted & installed Mac68k ufs partition, either.
Temporarily installed v1.42 on external (loud!) 100MB disk with only
v8.0.9 Apple driver and ufs partition on it; install performed successfully.
Then booted from its SCSI ID 6, booter automagically finds disk's ufs slice,
kernel assigns /dev/sd1a to Root. Now mounted disk 0's 2GB ufs partition
/dev/sd0d at /mnt and transferred whole OS to internal disk. /dev/sd0d
contains valid ffs filesystem, and there *is* netbsd kernel file in root dir.
However, the Booter won't find root slice, but unsuccessfully attempts to
mount /dev/sd0a's ext2 partition as Root and (no wonder) fails. Also tried
to load kernel from HFS partition, again, automount detects wrong slice.
Do not have no Mac development tools, so I cannot fix booter's or installer's
behaviour myself. Same buggy versions still come with NetBSD v1.5.
