In general, sysinst sucks rocks. We probably have to rewrite it from
scratch -- I don't think it can be fixed, it has too many things wrong.

Ah, but OpenBSD uses a different MBR partition type. NetBSD scans the
MBR on that disk, finds no NetBSD partitions, and thus can't find a
BSD disklabel at block 2 of said MBR partition. Thus, you lose. :(

What do you mean by "useless" -- could you explain in more detail so
we can try to fix the bug?

You'll have to ask him.

Serial boot blocks = boot blocks that speak to the serial port (useful
for headless machines).
