I mentioned this on IRC but one simple path issue is fixed by

<http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/submit/2007-01/msg00041.html>

I am quite confused about versions here I assume this patch was
commited against the "new" installer (which has proved hard to port
to Dragonflybsd) rather than the old ("working") installer.

I'm not even sure where the definitive Dragonflybsd installer repo is?

And can't help wondering whether it might be simplier to import the old
installer into the Dragonflybsd CVS tree rather than using pkgsrc or
the new installer repo?   And maybe we should just concentrate on
testing the old one (with vmware or whatever) and minor bug fixes/patches?
