>Description:
The kernel sets have long file names. If you wish to copy to a DOS partition to install - eg cos your CD drive wont work under NetBSD - then all kernels map to the same 8.3 filename. This is trivial to fix, unnecessary, and easily avoided. However, it impacts the install to all architectures.
>How-To-Repeat:
copy i386/binary/sets/*.* using DOS
>Fix:
rename files using 8.3 filenames, and adjust all other files and documents to suit.
