>Description:
If you install over a previous NetBSD installation, and choose to use the same partition table, and then change the filesystem type, the newfs flag does not automatically turn on.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD 6.0 BETA 2 over a previously installed NetBSD 5.1 system. After choosing the disk, and to use the whole disk, choose to use the current partition table. Then change the filesystem type to something else. The newfs flag remains "NO".
>Fix:
Either document the need to change newfs flag, or have sysinst change it automatically. The latter would be preferable.
