I just commited a (huge) change to the NetBSD installer[1] that likely will break it for you, especially if you use one of the less common architectures.
There will likely be a bit build fallout (for size issues), I hope to get that fixed quickly. The change was needed as sysinst was mostly unusable with bigger disks and the "disklabel" assumptions were coded very deeply into it (and also into the MD interfaces for individual ports). Now we should have a clean state from which we can progress quickly and smoothly - after fixing direct fallout from this the next step is proper UEFI boot support for x86 and EFI for arm. Now a big change like this never goes without errors introduced, and this is one thing I need your help with: Please test sysinst on all less common platforms you have access to. I prepared a tuturial[2] how to do that w/o breaking your existing installation. The current state is: known broken: macppc and some ofppc. Maybe broken: amiga, netwinder (and everything needing some special boot partition setup). All others should just work :-) The known broken ports will be fixed in the next few days, as well as all build fallout. Another issue you can help: the sysinst translations are partial, old and sometimes very odd. Please test the ones for languages you speak, again there are hints in [2] how to easily do that. This is especially important as it would be better to completely remove a translation than to offer a broken one. This is often the first point of contact with NetBSD for new users. If you find any issues please mail me, or file a PR. Thanks!
