System: NetBSD dora.int.purplei.com 1.5_ALPHA2 NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA2 (_DORA_) #0: Mon Aug 21 11:55:41 BST 2000 root@dora.int.purplei.com:/files/transient/netbsd/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/_DORA_ sparc


>Description:
	The sysinst timezone selection screen continually updates
	the current timezone at the top of the screen. This may be
	fine on an i386 wscons console, but on a sparc framebuffer
	it is rather ugly.

	When newfsing partitions it also fails to clear the third
	line of the display 'written yet. This is your last chance
	to quit...', and is subject to many spurious redisplays.
	
	This feels like a curses issue, but it might be related to the
	sun framebuffer. It appears to be present when the terminal
	type is set to vt100 (though the display is slightly garbled
	for obvious reasons).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Run sysinst on a sparc
