Right now, /stand is installed from sysinstall, and used, at last, 
from /etc/rc.d/initdiskless.

With /rescue and /usr/sbin/sysinstall in the tree, sysinstall may be 
changed to not install the bootcrunch as /stand.

I think /etc/rc.d/initdiskless may use /rescue/zcat and /rescue/tar 
instead of /stand/gzip an /stand/cpio.
