This is concerning 4.4-STABLE; it looks as if sysinstall has
moved elsewhere in current and I haven't looked around there
Should the installation of src/release/sysinstall recognize
DESTDIR if defined? If so, the following patch seemed to be
needed when I wanted to install it somewhere other than /stand

Nextly, I was installing onto a different disk, and /stand on
that disk looked rather different from /stand on a normally-
installed system. As far as I could tell in a quick look,
* none of the hard links one normally finds in /stand exist
* none of the documentation called up by the function keys
in sysinstall is available
So, what is the proper and suggested way in -stable to populate
/stand with sysinstall and anything else needed?
Also, I see that in the -current installation I have, the
/stand directory no longer exists, with sysinstall existing
dynamically-linked in /usr/sbin, but I haven't checked that
out at all...
thanks
