I still think it would be much better to add the SYSV stuff during the
build process and instead add both console drivers.  This way you could
add the SYSV stuff in the same manner as you build the MFS stuff.

By adding PCVT to the kernel we get the ability to install on
ThinkPad's.  By adding the SysV stuff we don't install on any more
hardware, but allow a commercial program to run.  However, the
commercial program is not run during the install, so the kernel
installed on the HD would be adequate.
