 Yes, the delay will become annoying, but I think I'll commit that 
 patch as being better than nothing.  I have some half formed ideas 
 for fixing this properly, but the fact that tee(1) is not present 
 on the root file system makes things difficult.  Essentially, 
 we want prompts to go to the console, and to go to the log file 
 /var/run/rc.log, and to appear without delay.
