I'm getting really confused here. Either "bsdconfig password" gets run 
before the post-install configuration menu is shown and therefore the 
text saying to set the root password in the welcome screen is 
unnecessary, or it doesn't get run and it's possible to quit bsdconfig 
without setting the root password.
