Okay, I usually override the default value when I test the script, so
I can see this breaking. (Your next message also makes it pretty
clear.) It'll be fixed shortly, thanks.

I had a problem similar to this once when I failed to install the
comp10 package, but this looks more like there's a problem with
libafs.o.
Try the following:
* Boot your machine single-user by typing "-s" at the NetBSD
boot prompt (you have to be fairly quick).
* When you get a shell prompt, do "fsck -p", "mount /", and
"mount /usr". Then "cd /var/tmp".
* Start up your net like you did during installation (with
the "ifconfig" and "route" commands).
* ftp to 18.181.0.24, log in as "ftp", your email address as
username.
* Do "cd installkits/i386_nbsd1", "bin", and "get libafs.o"
* Quit out of ftp and do:
mv /usr/vice/etc/dkload/libafs.o /usr/vice/etc/libafs.o.old
cp libafs.o /usr/vice/etc/dkload/libafs.o
* Reboot your machine.
Note that the version of libafs.o you will be installing has a known
bug in it (relating to setting file times--not very serious for normal
use), but it's also known to work on my system while it was running a
stock Athena kernel.
I'll do some testing to try to figure out what went wrong here.
