Your patch looks sane to me; I've applied it.  Thanks!

(However, I'd like to wait to close the bug until we have confirmation
from the bug submitters that it fixes their problem.)

I'd suggest fixing the SEGV in utilities/dbootstrap/baseconfig.c:155, 
as described in bug #126370; it's an easy fix, I'd suggest:

< if (bootargs.console[5]==',') ttyspeed=atoi(bootargs.console+6);
> if (bootargs.console && bootargs.console[5]==',') 
>ttyspeed=atoi(bootargs.console+6);

and it fixes a severe problem for installations over a serial console.

ciao,

cm.

Very cool!  

So, can we get 3.0.19 rolling then?  Any objections to uploading it now?

I have these problems fixed, and will commit after 3.0.19 uploads.

Unable to install from hard disk or mounted partition

[Chris Tillman]

I tried the new-powermac flavor from Jan 7 posted in ~walters. I was
unable to install from the hard disk.

I first tried the images-1.44/root.bin posted with new-powermac. Then
I tried a root.bin I had built from cvs on 1/14. Both gave the same
symptoms. I don't believe there have been any changes to this code in
the meantime. So the hard disk dialog is still not working, at least
for new-powermac. It really doesn't seem like the loop mount error
would be architecture-related.

I also tried the mounted partition selection, but that causes
dbootstrap to crash and restart in a smaller window.

Here is the pertinent part of the vc3 messages:
