There's still bugs with the install; one that leaves some
machines in a non-bootable-from-hard-disk state, and one that
mistakenly lets newfs use default parameters on drives with weird
geometries. [You even mentioned having a machine with one of these
problems; you should tell me when a good time is to come by and debug
it.]
There's also the need for a system to update from 7.7. I
almost have such a beast working. I think that's important.
