>Description:
attempting to use the extended partitioner crashes the installer when saving or finishing partitioning.

this is tested with the installer for three different platforms: netbsd/i386 on a 486 machine with a single ide drive, netbsd/mac68k on a quadra 700 with a single scsi drive, and netbsd/vax on a vaxstation m38 with two scsi drives. the issue prevents the use of the extended partitioner for installation.
>How-To-Repeat:
enter the extended partitioner in the installer, and then save changes. whether or not any changes were made does not seem to change the result.
