strange fstab after install

Hi,
just joined the list and hope it is still active. I was
amazed to see 
that NetBSD on 68k Macs is further supported. Thanks to
everyone 
involved in this project.
I tried a vanilla-install of 3.0.1 on my Quadra700 with 20M
RAM and a 4 
Gig HD at SCSI 1, partitioned into sd1a (root), sd1b (swap),
sd1g 
(/usr), sd1d (/var), sd1e (/tmp) and finally sd1f (/home).
Rather than 
using the traditional method, I tried out the sysinstall
thing, applied 
the bug fix of manually formatting and mounting the
partitions, used 
ftp to download the packages, and was happy to see the
progress bar 
flying by 
However, after rebooting I noticed some error messages
stating that 
some apps could not write to /etc as it would be read-only.
When I did 
a "mount" I saw that only /usr and /var were
actually mounted and / was 
indeed readonly. So I looked at /etc/fstab and saw that the
entry for 
sd1a was commented out, and the remainder of the partitions
had a 
"noauto" flag. Is this a bug or a feature? I had
a hard time to edit 
the fstab file, but I uncommented the sd1a line and removed
all noauto 
flags. It seems to work now but I'm not sure if I did the
right thing.

I had the same issue with my install, what I did was rather
simple. I
booted back into the install image, mounted / and chroot'd
to it. A
few vi's later and everything was back to normal.

Then again, I have a very simple partition layout. / and
/usr over
NFS. Getting FBSD to speak NFS was harder than anything!
