>Description:
When booting the Atari Falcon and using the sysinst.fs root image, it steps all the way through to naming the disk, of which instead of "mydisk" I used "netbsd" and then the installation aborts with...

Could not open /etc/disktab

sure enough that file doesn't exist, and the filesystem is read-only.

Responsible-Changed-Why:
this is an Atari specific problem

Responsible-Changed-When: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:47:15 +0900
Responsible-Changed-Why:
reproduced here


State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: tsutsui@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:47:15 +0900
State-Changed-Why:
This could only happen:
 - root on fd0a (not root on md2a etc.)
 - on the second installation
because makerootwritable() in .profile creates /tmp/.root_writable
and it will never be removed in root on fd0a case.
Maybe it's okay to simply use "mount -u $rootdev /" as other ports.

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	tsutsui
 Date:		Sat Jun 30 10:20:26 UTC 2012

 Modified Files:
 	src/distrib/atari/floppies/common: dot.profile

 Log Message:
 Simply use "mount -u" to (re)mount root file system read-write
 rather than denoting it using temporary /tmp/.root_writable file,
 because it will never be removed if root file system is on floppy.
 Fixes PR port-atari/37470.

 Should be pulled up to netbsd-6.
