I retrieved 2.1 release and changed a few things around.  The install went
(or I should say, is currently going) well.

I think there's a problem with trying to install to a second physical hard
disk.  What worked, and I suspect would have worked with the 1104-SNAP was
changing the SCSI IDs so that I was installing to sd0 instead of sd1.

Or possibly, there was just a problem with the 1104-SNAP installation
scripts/procedure.
