    Could someone verify the bin.* segments on freefall and/or Walnut
Creek's FTP archive?  The ones on the local Taiwan mirror
(netbsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw) are corrupted.  The error is:

# cat bin.* | tar -ztvf -

    The bad segment appears to be bin.aw (i.e., everything up to
bin.av gives me an "unexpected EOF" error).  I'll keep trying to get
through to ftp.freebsd.org tonight and grab that one segment.  No
errors were posted about bad checksums during the install, so I
suspect that there really is a bad segment, or the checksums are
somehow being skipped.
