System: [ 1.0000000] NetBSD 9.99.86 (INSTALL) #0: Sun Jul 11 10:51:46 UTC 2021

>Description:
System has 4 new 4TB disks:
[ 5.9892527] wd0: <ST4000NM0115-1YZ107>
[ 6.0392521] wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing
[ 6.0392521] wd0: 3726 GB, 7752021 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 7814037168 sectors (4096 bytes/physsect; first aligned sector: 8)
[ 6.4292526] wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 6 (Ultra/133), WRITE DMA FUA, NCQ (32 tags)
[ 6.4292526] wd0(ahcisata0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 6 (Ultra/133) (using DMA), NCQ (31 tags)
... I want to run a mostly-ZFS system, but root-on-zfs isn't there yet. So,
the intent is to set up all 4 disks with a raidframe (20GB) and a ZFS (rest)
partition, and run RAID1 root with a zpool for most data, possibly pivoting
to root. First step, partition the disks - there's where trouble starts.
Step-by-step is included in "How-To-Repeat", but basically, "choose
wd0, choose GPT, add RAID partition, add ZFS partition, say I'm done
with wd0, *boom*"
Update: looks like the ZFS part isn't needed - just adding the RAID
partition (GPT) makes it go boom.
In case it matters, machine is PXE booted, loading the amd64 netbsd-INSTALL.gz
kernel from 20210711 over tftp.
>How-To-Repeat:
From main sysinst menu:
Choose "a: Installation messages in English"
Choose "e: Utility menu"
Choose "d: Partition a disk"
(Obviously, this part below may vary)
Choose ">a: wd0 (3.6T) UNCHANGED"
Choose "a: Edit partitions"
Choose ">a: Guid Partition Table (GPT)"
... since this is a new drive, no partitions exist
Choose "c: Change input units (sectors/cylinders/MB/GB)"
Choose "a: Gigabytes"
Choose "b: Add a partition"
Choose "a: type :" -> set to RAID (t)
Choose "c: size :" -> set to 20GB
Choose "x: OK"
Choose "x: Partition sizes ok"
[1] Segmentation fault (core dumped) sysinst
This is the final screen where it crashes:
We now have your GPT partitions for wd0 below. This is your last chance to
change them.
Flags: (I)nstall, (N)ewfs, (B)ootable. Total size: 3726G, free: 0B
Start (GB) End (GB) Size (GB) FS type Flag Filesystem
------------ ------------ ------------ -------- ---- ----------------
a: 0 19 19 RAID
------------ ------------ ------------ -------- ---- ----------------
c: Add a partition
d: Change input units (sectors/cylinders/MB/GB)
e: Clone external partition(s)
f: Cancel
x: Partition sizes ok
