NetBSD trippel 1.6_BETA4 NetBSD 1.6_BETA4 (SPARCS) #3: Sun Jul 14 10:23:25 MDT 2002     root@trippel:/u1/Sandbox/SPARCS sparc
>Description:
The boot.fs ramdisk does not properly setup a second ramdisk for instfs.tgz.  Extracting the tarball results in exhausted inodes.  I made this critical/high priority because this should be fixed before 1.6-final.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put boot.fs onto a floppy or a bootable sparc CD-ROM and follow the instructions for loading instfs.tgz.  You should see a lot of tar extraction errors.
>Fix:
Here's a patch:
