Things to do ....

Phil:
	-  Things like having config_network()
           possibly use the information on the fixed disk instead of having
           to ask everything.

        -- Build the disktab as a profile, not a true /etc/disktab so it
           doesn't overwrite the real disktab.

        -- Have both ftp and floppy gets get the file, extract the file,
           and then remove the file before going on to the next set to
           save disk space.

        -- Add setting timezone

        -- A little more clean-up of the run_prog suite so things worke
           nicely for all ports.

        -- Check-in of files for amiga and other ports that will use
           sysinst for 1.3.

Jonathan:

    -- fix "disklabel -r -w" vs. "disklabel -w": I still don't grok why
        the  -r, and the manpage says it will lose totally on sparcs.
        Phil, was there some reason to bypass the incore label on i386?
        Can we jst do "disklabel -w" everywhere?

    -- Michael bumped the in-memory disklabel struct up to 16 entries.
	 Also add  a runtime check in case that grows in future (e.g., slices).
	 Maybe bump to 32 entries just in case.

    -- Fix sanity-check message code. It currently gets over-written
	immediately by the following message.

    --	check for disklabel edits changing active root partition.
	reject.

    --  check for overlapping to-be-newfs'ed partitions before newfsing.
	jump back to disklabel edit if any overlaps found.
	needs to  skip getrawpartition() (and  c on i386).

Somebody:
    --  remove any possibl-stale ld.so.cache files from the target
        /etc after unpacking sets. Maybe just don't copy ld.so.cache
        from /etc.old?

    --  set rc.configured, or just remind users to edit rc.conf?

    --  pmax miniroots have tar in /bin.  Fix that, or get rid of 
	hardcoded pathnames to /usr.    Maybe use stat() to do pathsearch
	(/bin, /usr/bin) in current root  for tools (tar, gunzip, ...) 
	not present on a `normal' root?

    --  Do mkdir("/mnt2") before mounting sets, instead of relying
	on the ramdisk/miniroot/  having /mnt2.

    --  If we're doing a fresh install and there's already a label
	on the disk, maybe use that intsead  of the compiled-in default
	label?
