NetBSD 1.6 (GENERIC_SCSI3) #0: Mon Sep  9 08:32:58 UTC 2002     autobuild@tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/sparc/OBJ/autobuild/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC_SCSI3 sparc

>Description:
given a sparc 5/20 with 2 internal disks:

the miniroot kernel is non-SCSI3, so sees target 3 as sd1, so that
is what gets written into /etc/fstab on the newly installed system.
on reboot, "specified device does not match mounted device"

while you're at it, the timezone menu would be easier to navigate
as two levels (continent -> region), and there should be a way to
select/deselect "all x11" in the sets menu.

don't get me wrong -- sysinst is pretty impressive :)

>How-To-Repeat:
install netbsd/sparc scsi target 3 when another disk is present at
target [012].

 Disk (mis)numbering is hard :-(

 However:

 - the TZ menu is now 2 level (based on directory structure)
 - you can (de)select all the X11 sets in one go.

 ok, after some discussion we think this problem still happens:

  - only GENERIC_SCSI3 wires down sd*
  - the installer uses INSTALL or possibly GENERIC
  - if you have the installer install GENERIC_SCSI3 the disk numbers
    change when you reboot out of the installer

 Probably easiest solution in -current would be to create a fstab that
 mounts by label name (always, or for ports that set a special flag for sysint).
