 I just did a fresh install with NetBSD/amd64 7.0.1 sets, and appear
 to see this bug, even though the fix was pulled up to 7...
 -current/amd64 seems fine.
 
 Trying to use sysinst after having done a manual disklabel / installboot /
 untar sets, reboot.
 
 Run sysinst,
  e: Utility menu
  b: Set timezone

 So it is the same bug...
 
 AFAICT NetBSD 7.0.1 was released 22 May 2016, and the pull-up applied
 on 8 Nov 2015, so what happened?
