Uh...wait a sec...
/stand/sysinstall is the crunched binary that you get on the
installation media. It is never updated with an installworld. As far
as I can tell, this is true even on -CURRENT systems.
/usr/sbin/sysinstall exists only on -CURRENT. It is a "normal",
dynamically-linked executable that *does* get updated with a buildworld/
installworld.
pdmonitor:bmah% ldd /stand/sysinstall

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing sysinstall moved either...it makes
doing MFCs easier. :-)
Bruce.
PS. I'm sure some other RE type is going to prove me wrong on about
half of the stuff I said above, but that's my understanding of the
situation.
