Interesting. I've netbooted my new VS2K (I've named it shoebox ;-) from
a full 1.2G installation on my NFS server and had no problems label'ing
and newfs'ing the RD53 disk (except using the wrong parameters etc. that
Boris helped me with).

Anyway, I dd'ed the miniroot to /dev/rrd0b and booted into it:


>>> b/3 esa0


-ESA0

I thought I'd have a look at the disklabel again:


# disklabel -r /dev/rrd0a
panic: pmap_enter: lost mapping
Stopped at      0x8009d9eb:     bicl3   $0xffbfffff, r2, r1

Boot again and try newfs:


# newfs /dev/rrd0a
panic: pmap_enter: lost mapping
Stopped at      0x8009d9eb:     bicl3   $0xffbfffff, r2, r1
db> 


Same problem as Daniel on the same hardware.

I booted again and tried mounting the disk (since I had already created
filesystems under 1.2G) on /mnt and /mnt/usr. No problem. So I tried
unpacking the distribution binaries on the disk. No problem.
