>Environment:

5.2-RELEASE, 5.2.1-RELEASE, -CURRENT.

>Description:

Sysinstall is not able to install the srescue source distribution, even if
it is located on the installation media. Files in /usr/src/rescue will not
be created, therefore buildworld cannot complete without running CVSUP.

Full buildworlds after applying patches from security advisories may fail
due to this unrelated issue.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install 5.2-RELEASE / 5.2.1-RELEASE, run make buildworld, see it fail. Run
cvsup on the same branch and see src/rescue/Makefile, src/rescue/REASME,
src/rescue/librescue/Makefile and src/rescue/rescue/Makefile pop up in
place.

>Fix:

In src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/dist.c, a record for "srescue" should be added
to SrcDistTable:

  DTE_TARBALL("srescue",   &SrcDists, SRC_RESCUE,   "/usr/src"),

The corresponding SRC_RESCUE constant should be added to dist.h, but all
the bits in DIST_SRC_ALL are already used and using more than 16 bits may
trigger side effects.
