>Description:
sysinst only handles 1 disk. What I want to be able to do is, for exmple:
put / and some swap on sd0
put /usr and some more swap on sd1
but sysinst only allows you to specify 1 drive for an install.
it would be good to allow for setting up disklabels on multiple disks and
have sysinst then newfs the appropriate ones.
>How-To-Repeat:
install with sysinst on a machine with >1 drive, note you have to pick
1 or the other
>Fix:
don't know.

It would be *really* nice if NetBSD could copy almost verbatim the
user-interface used by FreeBSD for this. It works *really* well and is
extremely easy to use.
