>Description:
The sysinst install for Mac68k doesn't do a few necessary steps.

- After one has chosen to partition the disk one is asked, shall we continue,
nothing has been written yet.  If you say yes then very very quickly you end up
on the extract verbosity question.  What seems to happen (these systems are too
fast, the screen flashes the messages too fast) is that the disklabel command
is done, but, the newfs is not.  Newfs on my 040 takes a good 30 seconds.
Since the newfs wasn't done then the new root system is not mounted at
/targetroot and the extract of sets is just about to fail.

If at the extract verbosity menu one types ^Z and types

newfs /dev/sd0a 

mount /dev/sd0a /targetroot

and then fg to get back into sysinst then one can continue with
the untarring of the sets.

Sadly all isn't completely well.

- on reboot things go badly because /etc/fstab wasn't written.
  One must manually create it.

If you already have say 1.6.2 on the system then the upgrade step works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the install kernel for mac68k and try the install path and not
the upgrade path.
>Fix:
See above.  My *guess* is that newfs isn't running for some bizzare reasons.

 This bug is still present in 2.0.2.
 The fstab file in fact is created, but it is created in the RAM disk in
 /targetroot/etc, since the target root is not being mounted.
 So one can do the following (I hit ^z when I came to the question of the
 installation method):

 doing the newfs stuff as necessary

 cd /targetroot
 tar cvf /tmp/t.tar .
 cd /tmp
 mount /dev/sd0a /targetroot
 cd /targerooot
 tar xpvf /tmp/t.tar
 fg


 BTW, I do not think the issue is simply that newfs is not executed. The
 partition is not mounted even if I prepare it beforehand.

 fixes the mac68k sysinst for me. Basically, the mac68k 
 md_make_bsd_partitions() function, which replaces the MI 
 make_bsd_partitions() because the mac68k port does not have an 
 on-disk BSD disklabel, neglected to sign up BSD partitions for 
 newfs'ing and mounting by setting the appropriate flags.


 Please request pull-ups to the netbsd-4, netbsd-3, netbsd-3-1 
 (urgent!), netbsd-2 and netbsd-2-1 branches, and also back out the 
 workaround descriptions in

 Pulled up into the netbsd-3-0 and netbsd-3 branches:

 distrib/notes/mac68k/prep			1.15
 distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/mac68k/md.c		1.49

 	Fix sysinst on mac68k: make it newfs and mount the target filesystem.

 Thanks for the fix,
