two user-friendly mods we could use.

--

one "should be easy" feature:

sysinstall writing out an entry into /boot/loader.conf :

root_disk_unit="where i installed freebsd"

-questions is being _killed_ by people installing onto systems with
'holes' in thier IDE chains and getting snagged by unable to mount root.

i'd do this myself but considering what adding amr to sysinstall
did to me and my time constraints, well i can't.

--and--

maybe not as easy...

vm86 as a kld?  (what's the point of VESA as a kld if it depends on VM86
which isn't?)

or perhaps... what are people's feelings on this becoming a default for 3.4
or is it already?

thanks,
-Alfred
