Sorry, the checksums will come back, but it was far too difficult to
implement for 2.0.5.  2.1R, yes.  2.0.5R, no.  If you contest the
degree of difficulty then by all means, look at the sources in
/usr/src/release/sysinstall and send me appropriate context
diffs.. :-)

For now, you need to have a reasonably reliable transfer medium or all
bets are off.
