If you've built a new kernel it should be file, unless... /stand/sysinstall
is in /etc/rc.  I don't know where it would be, rc.network, rc.local?
Also, can you just get out of sysinstall by choosing "Exit Install"?  Will
it restart, or get you into a shell.  If the above doesn't work, start the
emergency shell, move /stand to /standd and reboot.  Can you boot into
signle user mode?
