>Description:

This is from memory, but during the disk partitioning phase,
options are presented to the user to enter the "size", "offset",
etc.  A hint is given that you can enter the following for "offset":

"a-p: start at the end of partition X"

this makes zero sense.  I think that what is intended is this:

"X: start at the end of partition X"

Can someone verify this and change this text string to the
correct meaningful value?  This does not make a very good
first impression on a novice user, especially when it prevents
them from installing NetBSD for the first time!


>How-To-Repeat:

change string constant to correct value
