 I suspect the error is actually an integer divide by zero exception....
 Possibly even the one fixed by rev 1.66 of sysinst mbr.c
 
 This can be confirmed if you can get the core file off the install ramdisk,
 the unstripped ramdiskbin from the build tree, and running gdb on the pair.
 
 In any case the problem doesn't always happen - it will depend on the
 initial disk contents.  If you modify/delete the fdisk/netbsd disklabel
 info then the system will install - but no one will be any the wiser to
 the actual problem.
