I18N boot.flp can't exec root passwd from sysinstall because of terminal problem.... so I prompted to the users to execute "passwd root" as soon as you installed the system, but I have to write another way to set root password from sysinstall as soon as possible :-<.... Maybe this problem is related to last changes to /usr/bin/login after 2.2-RELEASE. Why /usr/bin/login is changed to this spec?
