Did you have the NetBSD partition prepared from Solaris, and then tell sysinst
to accept existing partitions? I would expect that to leave the disklabel
alone (at the solaris version). If it does insist on putting a NetBSD
label on the disk, that is a sysinst bug.

Also when you select mount points for partitions, you should have no mount
dir at all for the solaris part, and maybe add that later manually to
/etc/fstab (maybe not untill we figure why that causes a kernel panic ;-} )
If this does not avoid the fsck on the solaris partition, or if sysinst does
not let you avoid that mount point, that is another bug.

Please file an install PR for all this bugs. And a documentation PR with
your notes so we can update the install docs.
