>Environment:
System: NetBSD lyssa.zhadum.org.uk 7.99.1 NetBSD 7.99.1 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Sep 
19 09:13:02 BST 2014 
tron%lyssa.zhadum.org.uk@localhost:/src/sys/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
It seems that "installboot" can no longer update bootblocks under
NetBSD/amd64 current:

        tron@lyssa:~#installboot -v /dev/rwd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
        installboot: Opening file system `/dev/rwd0a' read-write: Device busy

Martin Husemann suggested that this problem is a result of the
wedges auto-configuration changes. I'm therefore submitting this in
category "kern" rather than "amd64".

>How-To-Repeat:
Read installboot(1) and follow the instructions for installing the bootblock.

>Fix:
Not known.
