Similar to: NetBSD agc-vm-20250222.localdomain 11.99.6 NetBSD 11.99.6 (GENERIC64) #0: Mon Jun 22 13:50:23 PDT 2026  agc@agc-vm-20250222.localdomain:/usr/build/obj/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC64 evbarm
>Description:
When unpacking all sets on aarch64 (in a Fusion VM), an attempt is made to unpack the dtb set, which overflows the boot partition (it seems to be 64 sectors by default). dtb isn't needed under Fusion.
>How-To-Repeat:
Unpack sets on aarch64 install via sysinst
>Fix:
Either don't automatically install dtb sets when not needed (which might be a tad difficult a priori), or make the /boot partition a tad larger

Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:33:22 +0000

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	martin

 	src/usr.sbin/sysinst: util.c
 	src/usr.sbin/sysinst/arch/evbarm: md.c md.h

 Log Message:
 PR 60360: make the default /boot partition on evbarm 64MB if we need
 the dtb set (the newer dtb files overflow the old 32mb default).
 In ACPI environments where we do not need dtb installed, do not select
 the set by default.
