>Description:
If /stand/sysinstall is run in order to do post-install configuration,
the /etc/rc.conf file becomes totally trashed with repeated strings.  Looks
like a buffer overflow.  Note that the machines hostname is long.

swapfile="NO"           # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired."             # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired."     
        # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired."             # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired.
apm_enable="NO"         # Set to YES if you want APM enabled."          # Set to YES if you want APM enabled."
>How-To-Repeat:
Run /stand/sysinstall and select post-instal configuration.
