I did not see an explanation.  I saw that the mtree could fail but not why
it SHOULD inherently be broken.  This is where the system is supposed to be 
documented and enforced to have the correct directory structure.  Let's see 
some real explanation.  Either mtree is doing the wrong thing, installworld 
is doing the wrong thing, or something else is screwing things up -- but 
correctly documenting and enforcing these links in the etc/mtree CANNOT be 
the wrong thing!
