System: NetBSD rochebonne.antioche.eu.org 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (ROCHEBONNE) #6: Sun May 16 01:52:17 CEST 2004 bouyer@pop.lip6.fr:/local/pop1/bouyer/tmp/i386/obj/local/pop1/bouyer/netbsd-2-0/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ROCHEBONNE i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	I used sysinst to upgrade an i386 with a tlp network adapter which
	doesn't support autoselect.
	In the network setup dialog, sysinst ask for the media type,
	with a default value of "10baseT". I changed it to "10base2",
	and started the dhcp config. It didn't work, suspending sysinst
	and using ifconfig, I noticed that the media was still 10baseT.
>How-To-Repeat:
	In the network dialog, try to change the media setting. Notice that
	the default is still used on the adapter.
>Fix:
	workaround:
	before starting the install/upgrade (or after a ^Z before network
	setup) use ifconfig to set the desired media value.
	Sysinst will then use this value as default.
