Hello,

now that we have the afterboot(8) manpage in our system, it may be good
to remember the administrator to read it. This can be done in three
ways, I think:

- Mail the root user when the installation is finished. The (new) admin
  can easily forget to read the mail.
- Add a paragraph to motd. The file is empty of comments for now, and
  adding such a paragraph that everybody will read seems annoying.
- Edit sysinst messages to note it.

I prefer the latter, so here is the patch ;) What do you think?
