I've committed fixes (with some modifications) and several imrovements:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124826.html
 The kernel and X sets should be specified in MD miniroot scripts.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124828.html
 Add modules set for default sets on miniroot installation.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124829.html
 Add missing md_get_partition_range() that causes installation failure.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124830.html
 Appease awk warnings on suppressing dmesg timestamps.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124831.html
 Explicitly sort set names fetched via ftp nlist.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124833.html
 Use proper release version strings ("9.1" rather than "91") in banners.

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2020/12/05/msg124834.html
 Inform the default installation directory in the official ftp server.


The last problem is "ftp control session gets timeout" that causes
failure of fetching binary.  I've also confirmed the attached patch
(fetching sets per each set) works around so I'll also commit it
if there is no particular objection.

I've also put a patched NetBSD/hp300 9.1 based miniroot.fs
including this ftp patch:
