Hi,

  I finally found a machine to install 2.2.5.  A bit late for patches
in -RELEASE, but these may help anyway.

1) sysinstall allows to enable quotacheck, but the GENERIC (and default)
   kernel does not have the QUOTA option.  This option is useless.

2) sysinstall enables ypbind but does not set domainname or ypserver
   addres (to use with -Sdomain,server).  Also, it does not change
   /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/host.conf (this last one I prefer
   not to change, anyway).  ypbind is useless, so.

3) An option to configure the dumpdev could be useful.  Also, auto
   selecting one swap file if it's bigger than the total amount of
   RAM is an option.  Would this help or confuse the novice user ?

4) Last thing in sysinstall: A ^L to redraw the screen would be handy.  :)

5) LINT is lacking the bktr device.  Maybe others.

6) kernel VISUAL_USERCONFIG: Does not know bktr device.  Shows as unknown.
   Maybe there are more.

7) packages: samba is in the packages-2.2.5 dir, but is not in the INDEX
   file.  Again, more problems like this may exist.

8) (Not exactly FreeBSD) XFree86 3.3.1 now comes without the contrib
   binaries.  I really liked to use xload and xbiff.  Maybe these could
   be packages now, huh ?

PS: Jordan, sysinstall is getting really good !!!
