NetBSD rod 1.5.3 NetBSD 1.5.3 (GENERIC) #34: Mon Jul  1 21:36:06 CEST 2002     he@hamster.urc.uninett.no:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
When you want to have access to your NetBSD Box via serial console and select 'serial bootblock' during the installation, you have to modify /etc/ttys manualy for a successful serial access.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install with 'serial bootblock' and reboot the machine. When the Box is booted you can't login.
>Fix:
Change sysinst to do something like the following commands, when a serial bootblock is selected. It would be nice if this is added before the 1.6 release :)

# cd /mnt/etc/
# ed ttys
