	The install is working now.  For the record, the problem was
that install2.sh in sunburn's miniroot had this code in it:

case `uname -m` in
sun4u)
    for i in `cat /util/install-local-u`
      do echo $i; cat /util/yes-file | pkgadd  -R /root -d /tmp/cdrom $i ; done 
  2>>$pkglog
[snip]

but the file /util/install-local-u didn't exist, so only the symlink
packages were getting installed.  I fixed this to refer to
/tmp/cdrom/install-local-u and the install worked.

The reason you were left with the shell prompt was because install2.sh
also had a "/sbin/sh" in it after the OS installation, because miki had
been working on the stat files for the os verification stuff for 9.0.
I pulled this out, too.
