"assertion "false" failed: file "usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinst/arch/amd64
[1] Abort trap (core dumped) ${cmd}

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install NetBSD 9.0 RC1 on partition with NetBSD 8.0.
Boot computer with an image based on NetBSD-9.0_RC1-amd64-install.img.gz.
Start installation procedure.
When you get bootcode option screen you will get message:
The bootcode in Master Boot Record does not appear to be valid.
Do you want to install the NetBSD bootcode ?
When you choose any option you will get error message.
