I've found a problem in miniroot installation problem.

src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub script filters set files per
"THESETS" from "ALLSETS" in MI install.sh and "MDSET" in MD install.md
https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub?r=1.53#628

but all ports other than amiga doesn't set MDSETS properly:
https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub?r=1.53#628

As you pointed out another mail, hp300 (and mac68k) install.md script
also lacks "md_get_partition_range()" function. 

The attached patch should resolve all issue so I'll commit this
soon and send a pullup requests.

Thanks!

Note I also notice there is another minor problem in miniroot script
in netbsd-9 branch.  It complains:
---
Available disks are:

awk: warning: escape sequence `\[' treated as plain `['
 source line number 1
 context is
        { h=$0; >>>  gsub("^[ <<<
awk: warning: escape sequence `\]' treated as plain `]'
 source line number 1
awk: warning: escape sequence `\[' treated as plain `['
 source line number 1
 context is
        { h=$0; >>>  gsub("^[ <<<
awk: warning: escape sequence `\]' treated as plain `]'
 source line number 1
sd0
sd1

Which disk is the root disk?

---

This is caused by the following lines:

https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub?r=1.53#1612
---
   1612 mi_filter_dmesg() {
   1613 	# Remove timestemps, sort.
   1614 	dmesg | awk '{ h=$0; gsub("^\[[0-9. ]*\] ", "", h); print h; }' \
   1615 	    | sort -u
   1616 }
---

Maybe it should be gsub("^\\[[0-9. ]*\\] ", "", h) ?
