" Has anyone ever experienced the NetBSD installation screens accepting
" what seems to be two keypresses from console when only one is made?
" 
" In this case, if I press return (Type4 or Type5 keyboard), it moves to
" a submenu but then somehow assumes I've pressed enter again.  This
" happens at the first Install menu (menu choice A to install NetBSD
" from scratch).  It goes to the next screen which asks "are you sure"
" but "No" is highlighted.  Suddenly it jumps back to the main menu
" again as if I answered "no".  Some menus don't do this.  The reinstall
" option doesn't do it but the distrubtion sets underneath do.
" 
" I'm not sure why it's behaving this way but it's certainly making it
" hard to install.

i wonder if it could be cr -> crlf tty mapping, and the installer
taking both cr and lf as synonymous...
