hi all!

i'm working on getting sysinst committed for the mac68k port, and i've got
a couple of questions:

1) in most ports' md_copy_filesystem() (in md.c), there are lines like:

        /* Copy next-stage install profile into target /.profile. */
        cp_to_target ("/tmp/.hdprofile", "/.profile");    

what is this .hdprofile file?  do we need on the mac68k port?

2) there is also a line like:

	run_prog ("cp /etc/disktab.preinstall /etc/disktab");

where is disktab.preinstall? is it part of a miniroot build or something?

i'd appreciate any help you can give :-)

thanks.
