>Description:
I just did an install of current and i wrote down some things that were confusing and can be imporoved:

1.) "Do you want to upgrade Netbsd bootcode yes?no? " 
 This needs explanation. It does not explain what it. It just needs to give more information about what bootcode is.  Does it replace other OS bootcode maybe that should be explained.

2.)Disklaber Creation screen
 Explanation is given for two options Standard and Existing while the menu  names the two options "Set size, and Existing" This got me confused what the first option was on the menu. It should say "Use Standard sizes for Netbsd partitions"

3.) If someone choosed to setup their own partintions and mount points. Should there be a warning not to put swap as first partition? I did it and it caused problems doing the install of sets.
