>Description:
I downloaded an i386 4.0 Beta2 (NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200612080000Z/i386)
from the ftp server and created a bootable CD as per
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html.

During an installation (using this CD), I selected the GENERIC_LAPTOP
kernel on the "Distribution set" page of sysinst.

After the installation and a reboot of the machine, I noticed that the
GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC kernel was installed and not GENERIC_LAPTOP as
selected by me. (GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC does not appear in the distribution
set menu.)

I went back into sysinst and noticed that option
"d: Kernel (GENERIC_TINY)" actually installs GENERIC_LAPTOP
while option
"e: Kernel (GENERIC_LAPTOP)" installs GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC as mentioned
above.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD/i386 4.0 Beta2 via sysinst. Select a GENERIC_TINY or
GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel during the installation and run "uname -v"
afterwards.

>Fix:
I had a quick look where this is configured but was too dumb to find
it. I'll try harder next time. Promised. :o)
