>Originator:     Matt Behrens
>Release:        3.0-RELEASE
>Organization:
>Environment:
(none, as the system cannot install)
i486 DX2/66, 8 MB RAM, 1.2 GB IDE HDD, VLB IDE/IO Controller, VLB Video Controller, ISA NE2000 Compatible NIC
>Description:
With a system apparently with wd0 drives, 3.0-RELEASE sysinstall and not 3.0-19981015 on a system with IDE drives will give an "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rwd0s2a!" with "newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Cross-device link" and "newfs: /dev/rwd0s2a: can't rewrite disk label".  Something happened between the 15th and the 16th.  Confirmed on my system and on <mike@seidata.com>'s.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start an installation with the 3.0-RELEASE boot floppy and follow through any install.  When the first newfs is called, this error will occur.
>Fix:
None for 3.0-RELEASE.  Downgrade to 3.0-19981015-BETA.
