>Description:
NetBSD 1.6.2 doesn't install cleanly on Dell (Optiplex 270G & Precision I-think 360?)
because of the problems (I suppose) as described in PR #13310, and I hope the workaround
/ solution as noted in mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2001/03/28/0006.html will
work, need to test tomorrow.
In #13310 there's mentioned if the problem persists, should open another PR, here
we go.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 1.6.2 (hubertf's lehmann distribution :-) on a(ny?) dell
>Fix:
Dunno.
