>Environment:
System: NetBSD sunset-glow.duskware.de 4.99.70 NetBSD 4.99.70 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Jul 20 06:00:56 PDT 2008 builds@wb38:/home/builds/ab/HEAD/sparc/200807200002Z-obj/home/builds/ab/HEAD/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC sparc
Architecture: sparc
Machine: sparc
>Description:
Sparc uses the rootfs-via-NFS aproach for sysinst installation, and the rootfs
tools seem to not be compiled with -DSMALL/libhack - so the "workaround" for
missing locale information in sysinst does not apply. This means: the sysinst
translations will not be able to display their non-ascii characters on sparc.

Minor other nit: dhcpclient seems to be missing from rootfs.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot with rootfs on sparc, select non english language and run the utilities/
network setup menu.

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: martin@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:07:24 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
rootfs is size restricted, so dhcp client is out.
The umlaut display problem is not sparc specific, i386 "miniroot.kmod" has it
too.
