...does it print any other errors on the screen?  Hmm, I guess this
is with the NetBSD 1.2 installation tools?

I've found some bugs in the SCSI and HP-IB disk drivers, which I've
fixed, and will commit once I have a chance to test them (updating
kernel sources can take a while, sometimes :-).

Now that the (extremely) busy holiday season is _finally_ over, I
really want to get a snapshot made...

I've not seen that problem before at all... can you run the installation
