>Description:
I obtained a HP Jornada 720 to try NetBSD/hcparm on, it seems that the installer panics at the same place on NetBSD 7.0-RELEASE & HEAD.
Installer fetches kern-JORNADA720.tgz (I'm using HTTP) & attempting to extract it, results in a panic:
ock error
Stopped in pid 54.1 (tar) at c00858a8: mov r15, r14

 Tried the HEAD snapshot from the 24th of February just now. Installer
 fetches kern-JORNADA720.tgz & goes to extract it with tar, but again
 panic. This time however the message is a different.

 fs_init_vnode: dup alloc
 Stopped in pid 93.1 (tar) at c0049274: mov pc, r14

 It seems that the crash only happens when attempting to partition &
 install over the network using a PCMCIA ne(4) card.

 Preparing the CF card on another NetBSD host with a FAT partition
 containing install sets & a blank NetBSD partition results in a
 successful install if the installation source is a local path which is
 the FAT partition.

 ...that means typing over the network but a local CF card? (and not,
 say, an NFS volume or an iscsi CF card or anything like that?)

 bizarro.

 I meant, booting jornada from CF card, repartitioning on the Jornada &
 attempting to install sets from a network source (via http in my case)
 results in the panic.
 Partitioning & copying archive sets on another system & then installing
 on Jornada from a locally mounted path works just fine.

 Recategorised to kern as the issue doesn't appear to be specific to
 hpcarm[1]

 Is this with ffsv2 or v1?

 With ffsv2 dup alloc panics have been seen before when caused by races
 in the buffer cache; at least once source of that got fixed but it
 wouldn't surprise me at all if there are others.

 (also in general please include the backtrace with panics...)

 I see.

 I'll retry and get a backtrace (tonight or tomorrow).

 HEAD appears to have a separate issue now which now sysint & disklabel
 are  unable to detect the CF disk despite kernel listing it as wd0.
 Hence I was unable to test there.

 I have however just been able to install NetBSD 7.0_STABLE without issue
 (build 201607090330Z) via HTTP.
