>Description:
port-atari 9.2 installation on an atari TT030 freezes during extraction of base.tgz.  The extraction proceeds for a few minutes, but then appears to stop (no HD activity).  Ctrl-C does not work to exit the extraction, the system just appears frozen.  This issue reproduces reliably.

The issue does not happen on 8.2, which I am able to install and run reliably on the same system.

On 9.2, there seems to be an issue with how text is rendered that may (or may not) be related to the install failure.  For example, the 'progress' command doesn't render progress at all.  I would normally be able to see how far set extraction has completed, but it's not possible to do so because 'progress' is broken.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD port-atari onto an Atari TT030, mostly as described here:
https://netbsd-ataritt.fandom.com/wiki/NetBSD_on_the_Atari_TT030

Choose to download sets over HTTP.  When the base.tgz set is extracted, observe the system stops responding after a few minutes.

This is a standard install, nothing special.  I can help test, etc. as necessary, please feel free to reach out.
