Installing on Loongson2f causing sysinst segmentation fault



Hi,

I'm trying to install NetBSD onto my Loongson2f netbook and when
partitioning the disk sysinst will crash due to segmentation fault.
The exact error message looks like below:

```
[ 104.2026388] uid 0, pid 16, command sysinst, on /: file system full
[ 104.2397136] /: write failed, file system is full
[ 104.2597050] pid 16 (sysinst): user write of 139472@0x78594000 at
730572 failed: 28
```

This error showed up whenever I tried to change the partition map and
mark the NetBSD partition active.  I have previously installed OpenBSD
on the Loongson2f netbook so I have one ext2 partition of 2G as boot
drive for the kernels and the rest of the disk (~158G) as OpenBSD file
system.  I have tried the following:
* Remove the OpenBSD file system and create a NetBSD fs.
* Directly change the OpenBSD fs to NetBSD fs.
* Remove everything and recreate the ext2 fs and NetBSD fs.
And all attempts ended up in sysinst segfault when trying to mark the
NetBSD partition active.  There was obviously enough space on my
disk, so I suspect this file system full error may be referring to the
installer ramfs?

I've tried both the NetBSD 9.2-release and NetBSD daily snapshot but
both ended up in this error.  I actually also tried the 8.2 installer
and interestingly it worked flawlessly!  So I now have a working
NetBSD system.  I then tried to use the 9.2 installer to perform an
upgrade, but when trying to download the sets it ended in no disk
space error (again), which sounds related to the previous issue.

As I don't have a working NetBSD system yet I cannot use sendbug with
system info, so do let me know if you need any more info.  Any fix or
workaround are appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
