Well... I am not sure why the securelevel would be raised by
the installer and fixit floppy, but I cannot check what the
level is (at least not the way I know how to check ...)

# sysctl -a | grep secure
sysctl: not found

I guess I could customize fixit.flp to add sysctl but is it really
likely that the installer raises the securelevel?
