.. Tomorrow's sup should have a version of src/distrib/utils/sysinst
that builds on a pmax. 

I've been using it with the disgusting ugly hack below, to get it to
recognize pmax disks.  You may or may not need to apply the patch
below; there will be a better solution in the 1.3 tree soon.
I'd like very much to use sysinst for the 1.3 release.

There is still a lot of work to be done to get sysint to work for for
a `diskimage' install, but it should work for installs via
diskless-boot.  It'd be really great if someone could try that out and
tell the list about the problems you run into.

This hasn't been used in anger on a pmax, so there are sure to be
some. Starting with getting a termcap entry for the pmax console and
working up...
