Ok, I'm trying out the 3.0 beta installer, and have found a few problems 
that keep me from installing. (I seem to be good at that lately..)

When I try to set up the disklabel on the disk, I get this as a 
response:
     Status: Command failed
    Command: disklabel -w -r -f /tmp/disktab sd0 'ibm40p'
     Hit enter to continue

NetBSD slice at 32130, partition C at 0
Write outside MBR partition? [n]: y
write: No such file or directory

disktab contents:
# cat /tmp/disktab

fdisk's idea of what the disk looks like:
# fdisk sd0
sd0: no disk label
Disk: /dev/rsd0c
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 2857, heads: 15, sectors/track: 91 (1365 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 3933040

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 244, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 3933040

Partition table:
0: Linux/MINIX (sharing disk with DRDOS) or Personal RISC boot (sysid 
65)
    start 16065, size 16065 (8 MB, Cyls 1-2), Active
1: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    start 32130, size 3887730 (1898 MB, Cyls 2-244)
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>

Any ideas?
