How does sysinstall work with this change? You do realize that we
mount the MFS as /, then mount the disk under /mnt, chroot to /mnt,
then mount the CD in /dist in the chroot and install from there?
Are you going to mount the CD as root or something? It is probably
a lot simpler to simply let sysinstall always execute in a MFS root.
If you really want to rewrite the installation environment, then you
might want to talk that over on a mailing list first to get some input.
It's not a trivial task.
