>Environment:
netbsd 1.6.1/i386/various machines
>Description:
when installing on 2G drive w/ less than 100mb root partition sysinst failed. Ran out of space in /tmp. Workaround was to symlink /tmp into /usr/tmp to get enough space.
On a disk of this size, sysinst automagic partitioning created a
root partition small enough for this problem to appear.
>How-To-Repeat:
make a root partition <100 mb. try to install 1.6.1.
>Fix:
After partitioning ctrl-Z into shell:
mkdir /mnt/usr/tmp
ln -s /mnt/usr/tmp /mnt
