It's not really clear what the failure was here, or what I might do to fix
it. I looked at /makefs and poked around with 'fdisk /dev/rsd0d', but to
little avail. If it's of any help here, the contents of /tmp/vars is:
kernel="adp"
host="perdiem"
domain="cygnus.com"
[networking information ... not part of the problem]
on_mitnet="n"
revision='$Revision: 1.32 $'
disk="sd0"
start="2056320"
size="2104515"
cylinders="259"
sectors="63"
heads="255"
created=yes
and the contents of /tmp/label are (as best as I can transcribe them) :
temp|NetBSD installation generated:\
:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:\
:nc#259:ns#63:nt#255:se#512:\
:pa#40960:oa#2056320:ta=4.2BSD:ba#8192:fa#1024:\
:pb#65536:ob#2097280:tb=swap:\
:pc#2104515:oc#2056320:\

:pf#1905859:of#2254976:tf=4.2BSD:bf#8192:ff#1024:
(I can't see why it'd be relevant, but in case it is: Win95 is installed on
the primary partition of this host.)
I'd like to complete this NetBSD installation. Any clue what I can do to
make things work?
