after several changes in 9.1 and -current, it's strange to me that the option that I expect is the most popular for installing NetBSD (start over, fresh partitions, use the whole disk) is no longer the default option:
> d: Delete everything, use different partitions it's option 4! that doesn't feel right at all. the installer in -current now asks users to input entropy by hand: > {They should contain at last 256 bits of randomness, as in 256 coin > tosses, 100 throws of a 6-sided die, 64 random hexadecimal digits, or > (if you are able to copy & paste output from another machine into this > installer) the output from running the following command on another > machine whose randomness you trust:} while inputting entropy by hand isn't something i would consider acceptable to expose to everyday users of a modern operating system in the first place, the suggestion that they might use coin tosses makes the entire thing feel like a big joke (and in general the dialog is overly complicated). i really feel like both of these things could be improved.
