The install.sh script should have installed new boot blocks which would
load from a 4.4BSD FFS. The root filesystem does NOT need to remain
an old-format filesystem.

Thanks to the fact that the SysV camp couldn't accept that BSD was better
written and gave better performance and utilisation of resources, we now have
a new OS to contend with: Windoze N(o)T. If the UNIX world had adopted a
fully configurable *optional* GUI atop a BSD-based OS sooner, this wouldn't
have happened. TO ANY WOULD-BE SYSADMIN: Reconsider your choice of career.
Windows? No Thanks.
