   Because although you can tell the install script that you'd like to install 
   FreeBSD on wd1 rather than wd0, there are NO DEVICE NODES FOR WD1 IN /dev
   ON THE FILESYST FLOPPY!!!!!!!! (There aren't any entries for wd1 in the
   'filelist' file either, which means the install script will be unable to
   create /dev/wd1* on the hard disk, which will further bung up the works.)

Sigh..  Mea culpa!  I'll see what I can do about this.  Sorry about
that, I just wasn't thinking!
