Regarding the 7.0, my error was the same as resported on this thread: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2014/08/23/msg025653.html "installboot: Old BPB too big, use -f (may invalidate filesystem) installboot: Set bootstrap operation failed" I used the latest image from releng. I wasn't and I am not on current-users and I have reinstalled, so I might file a bur report but I am not sure if I would want to follow it up. > I don't remember 6.1 ever starting in single user mode - perhaps there > was an issue with something last time when you installed it which is > now fixed? The intention is that it should be ready to go... I did install 6.1.2 (amd64) back in November 2013 and I clearly remember this message at my first boot: " /etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser boot aborted. " This message is still dispalyed on the 6-1 install.html file: http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-6-1/201411180100Z/amd64/INSTALL.html#Post%20installation%20steps The steps I made were more or less the same as last time. I am not complaining at all, actually I'm impressed. I am not on my netsbd partition right now. I'll be checking on rc.conf if it mentions any change made by sysinstall.
