Ok, just ran an install using the 'latest' floppies (midday monday my
time).

- The timezone bug is (obviously) still there.
- sysinstall can't find xf86config (it _was_ installed OK though).
- When the post-install cleanup is being done (before the 'all done'
  message is displayed, the last 'extracting' message should be
  replaced with a 'cleaning up message'. (nit)
- I'm not getting a 'press any key to reboot' message from the
  kernel at the end of the install.  I do from subsequently build
  kernels, and if I press a key, I get a reboot, but no message. Odd.

(Also a datapoint for the kernel non-rebooting people; 
AMD DX4/100,m UMC-886PCI chipset, without 'BROKEN_KEYBOARD', reboot
gives the '...failed,. trying CPU shutdown' message, with it,
nothing happens. (no message).   (This is under 205A)

- LATE BREAKING DATAPOINT!  Just rebooted my 205A install :
   /etc/fstab contains    /dev/sd0s4e   /usr   ufs rw 1 1
   but there/s no /dev/sd0s4e.  Mounting /dev/sd0e works, though.
   Previous floppies got this right, so this is (AFAIK) a new bug.
   MAKEDEV sd0s4 fixes this, and /dev/sd0s4e mounts correctly.
   (but MAKEDEV uses chgrp, which is in /usr/bin... 8)

Lookin' good.  I'm off to dinner 8)
