As you know, we don't even have tecra disks anymore, thank god.

I just tested a full base system install with loading base2_1.tgz from
NFS. Worked fine; my show-stopper was that /etc/fstab wasn't created
(bug reported). But these problems seem to be fixed in 2.1.4.

Another bug fixed, although I find the task after root login/reboot to
be rather confusing here. Suggestions appreciated I'm sure.
