>Description:
The bootselector default doesn't seem to be set properly by sysinst or it isn't respected correctly by the bootselector.

It last happend to me about three weeks ago with a build from the netbsd-4 branch of that time.
>How-To-Repeat:
I installed NetBSD i386 in the second primary partition of a disk that already has Windows in the first primary partition. I selected the NetBSD partition in sysinst to be the bootselector default. However the system will still boot Windows if I do nothing at the bootselector prompt.

 Hi,

 a quick update: If you also make the new NetBSD partition the active one in 
 sysinst, then the bootselector default will work and boot NetBSD by default.
