>Description:
when installing with sysinst selecting 'use existing partition layout' on a
new disk (and probably any disk) no mount point is set for partition 'a:'
by default. this is annoying the default partitioning configuration that is
provided by the installer should default the mount point to '/' so the user
doesn't have to set it manually.

>How-To-Repeat:
run sysinst on a new system, tell it to use the entire disk, tell it to use
the existing partition layout. select partition sizes ok and whatch it
complain that the only partition defined has no mount point defined.

>Fix:
default mount point to / when installing netbsd and the partition configuration
has been faked up/provided by sysinst.
