Hi,

Here's a new problem: amd64, Radeon with 1400x1050 monitor, NetBSD-9.99.97 
installer gives this when it's time to show disks:

Screen too narrow (82 + 7 > 87) for menu "Available disks"


sysinst terminated.

To return to the installer, quit this shell by typing 'exit' for ^D.


Another machine with Ryzen built-in graphics sets the font to a much 
smaller font, so that's not the issue. However, this other system doesn't 
have a serial port, so I'm not given the option to select a serial 
console, which seems... wrong. Systems used for install can be and often 
are different from systems used for running.

Thoughts?

John
