>Description:
upon first boot of the live filesystem the root fs is resized to cover the entire usb stick. this part works and writes back, all seems fine.
next step i think it is trying to reboot and ends up in the kernel debugger.  this should not occur. upon reboot manually it worked fine with the full stick as root.
i hope this enough info. i have yet to try the install usb but i do not
expect that root to be resized so likely no problem. i'll try to check this out later.

as am aside, likely also deserving a separate pr.  the live usb stick 
and i think the install one also can not be accessed using disklabel.
if memory serves the "latest" and "current" sticks had different fdisk
partition id's, gpt and netbsd partitions respectively, disklabel not 
able to work with either one, but they work to boot into and mount
the filesystem. the gpt in "latest" could be read but not the current
one. this may not matter one whit, as long as things mount and are
useable but it is inconsistant.


>How-To-Repeat:
should just take the live .gz file, uncompress and dd onto a stick that is larger than the file. then boot it and let it resize.
>Fix:
unknown. this may already be in the works or totally nonsequitor if 
nobody uses the live filesystem.
