On 09-Mar-99 Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no spoke unto us all:
#   o The current sysinst is IMHO way too insistent on manual
#     interaction during the installation.  Requiring a keystroke for
#     each "user-visible" command that is executed is, um... "highly
#     undesirable".

I found this useful at first while debugging sysinst.. but I can see your point
now..  Perhaps an alarm function that continues after 5 seconds.  My problem is
the classic "newfs blows up, and then scrolls right off the screen and you
never get a chance to see it".

My apologies for the MAKEDEV thing.. I checked the kernel, but never check
MAKEDEV..
