That only stops making a copy of it from the MFS root onto the installed 
system.  The entry in the init path is to allow the MFS root to boot during an 
install.  If you go grab the mfsroot from 8.2-RELEASE and mount it via 
mdconfig you will find that it has no /sbin/init file.  Instead, it uses 
/stand/sysinstall as its init.
