 I wasn't aware that this already was fixed; thanks for the notice.
 
 Should this really be worth a pullup to NetBSD-5 though?  Only having
 ran NetBSD/vax in SIMH so far, I didn't really need the advantages of
 FFS2, although I was bitten once by an install where I selected it.  It
 also would be fine for me if it only was clearly documented that the
 NetBSD-5/vax bootloader doesn't support booting from FFSv2 file systems.
 
 What do others think?
 
 Thanks,
