No idea, yet, just more or less wild guesses.
* you wrote the miniroot onto the _root_ partition, thus overwriting your
working partition when you started to install
* you misunderstood some of the prompts or the INSTALL, and did something
wrong.
- For both possibilities, it would help to see all questions you were asked,
and all answers you have given, not just the last one. We have done some
clarifications in other areas already, maybe more is needed.
* the partition ids are wrong...
- Please report the partition ids in addition to the rdbinfo output.
or try rdb-informer.
- btw, what is 2092/6?
* too much graphics board:
If this is the case, you probably can workaround in one of these ways:
- try without the cv64/3d (obviously)
- use "binpatch" to patch the kernel:
binpatch -s _Sysptsize netbsd
write down the value reported
binpatch -s _Sysptsize=6 netbsd
(assuming 6 is bigger than the old value- increase it by a small amount)
then boot using loadbsd
- when booting, leave out the S option, and maybe use -n0 instead of -n2.
Please tell if any of these helps.
