I'm trying to get NetBSD running on a laptop (WinBook XP5) that work gave me.
Apparently the pcmcia controller is one that 1.3.2 can't talk to, so I punted
on 1.3.2 and tried to go with -current.  I grabbed the required files from
the "snap-19981117a" tree and went at it.

sysint cored, blabbering about / being full.  Ok, fine, disklabel it manually.

disklabel(8) on the install floppy keeps complaining about "old BSD partition
ID!", and refuses to write anything to the disk (see output after my .sig).

This is probably fixed by now, can someone build me a recent install floppy
(boot.fs) and put it up for ftp somewhere?  (I don't have a system running
-current, else I'd just do it myself.)

In the meanwhile, I'll try to zap the label entirely and start over.

Thanks.
