Good questions. I'm not sure what the change was either. A good next step
would be if someone could check out netbsd-1-4 (perhaps just from the anon
cvs tree) and build a 1.4.2-like install floppy for you. If it worked, we
could stop worrying about it, otherwise it would be necessary to find out
what the fix was.
