/sbin/sysinst core dumps with a segmentation fault because there is
no /usr/share/misc/termcap* database files in the diskimage.  The following
is sufficient in /root/.termcap for the glass-tty:

Watch out for line-wrap.  The TERM variable must be set accordingly
otherwise it coredumps.

Other than that, all I can say is that it detected that I don't have
a hard disk, and rebooted okay.
