I think that we should use some magic to make this more intuitive.
That is, I think we should have the loader.rc in the mfsroot set a
variable 'booted_from="floppy"' and have the loader.rc on the CD
set it 'booted_from="cd"' and then have sysinstall pop up a dialog
asking the user if they want to insert the driver floppy if the
kernel env var booted_from is set to "floppy". Perhaps instead it
should be that the boot floppy on archs that support a drivers floppy
should add a 'driver_floppy="YES"' that sysinstall would go off of.
Hmm, I'll work on that. Well, here's the first step (untested):

Hello,
After many installations, I noted that 100MB is the minimum of space to
use for / partition. With a smaller I ran out of space during
installation. I think maybe that has to be mentioned somewhere...

sysinstall currently is using /dev/acd0c for /cdrom in the /etc/fstab it
generates, but in 5.0 it should really be using /dev/acd0 w/o using a
"fake" BSD 'c' partition. I think this patch will fix it but it hasn't
been tested yet.

Does anyone install over tape anymore? Has anyone even tried to
install over tape in the past 5 years? If not, can we axe it?

Looks good to me in principle, but testing it would definitely be a good
direction to take this patch.
BTW, we should be putting together a testing guide for this release --
unfortunately, that means pretty much "Test everything" :-).

In terms of where to take this: there are many reported problems with
smbfs on 5.0-CURRENT. It's not clear whether this is left over from the
KSE imports, the Apple-derived fixes that might not have fixed things,
etc. In any case, before we can look at smbfs install, we really need
smbfs working. People who feel moved to debug this should feel free :-).

No. I really don't think the restart code is all that safe as it only
works in a limited number of situations. So far it hasn't worked in any
of the situations that I have attempted to use it.
