>Description:
	sysinst 'install' runs the old copy of /etc/postinstall, not the
	copy from the set being installed.
	This means that the wrong actions are performed.
	In particular MAKEDEV doesn't get updated leaving a broken
	MAKEDEV script (one that the /bin/sh won't run).
	There maye be other problems.....
>How-To-Repeat:
	Use sysinst to upgrade a system that has anything other than
	2.0 or 'current' installed on it.
>Fix:
	Should be fixed by rev 1.130 of src/distrib/utils/sysinst/util.c
	The one-line change of this revision is enough.
	(note this change is currently untested, and I am unlikely to be
	able to test it - it is, hovwever, unlikely to be completely broken)
