>Description:
        When using sysinst to install two different NetBSD installations on the
        same disk, sysinst writes a strange fstab file for the second
        installation:

        /dev/wd0a / ffs rw,noauto 1 1
        /dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
        /dev/wd0e / ffs rw 1 1
        /dev/wd0f none swap sw 0 0
        kernfs /kern kernfs rw
        procfs /proc procfs rw,noauto

        The second swap partition was my mistake; I didn't realize it would be
        OK to share one between two installations.  The first line, though, is
        odd.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Using sysinst, install a second NetBSD installation on a disk that
        already contains a NetBSD installation.
>Fix:
	Perhaps include the second root partition commented out?  It can be
        useful to mount the other installation's file system, but not as the
        root file system.  :)
