	It appears that the same sysinstall executable that
works fine when run from the installation CDROM malfunctions
when run from a mfs platform even though it finds the disk it is
supposed to install on.

	One can format the disk manually and mount the
partitions under mfs, but sysinstall can't seem to do the
installation. This does not make sense, but that is the score
right now.
