i just recently installed NetBSD 1.5 on a small sparc box i have.  sysinst just
didn't want to work for me. booting off of miniroot on swap slice, told me that
/ should be on /dev/sd0a and that it was currently on /dev/sd0b [swap, where we
booted from] and that it was terribly confused and it didn't know what to do so
would i please mount the real root and re-run sysinst.  mount it where?  it
didn't tell me.  i couldn't figure it out, didn't feel like trying and did it
the "good old fashioned way" and it worked perfectly.  luckily i know what files
to edit to get the machine configured and didn't miss the dialog questions at
all.  i think i'm gonna skip sysinst from now on.
