freebsd stable - Feb 2005 - loader.conf: init_path="/stand/sysinstall" appropriate?

Hi,

In /boot/defaults/loader.conf there's the line:

#init_path="[...skip...]:/stand/sysinstall"

I wonder if /stand/sysinstall is still appropriate
as one of the defaults in the init path.

There has been a plan to remove /stand/ altogether
after install, or even have it completely replaced
by /rescue/.

Moreover, a more up-to-date sysinstall is now in
/usr/sbin/sysinstall !!

Regards,
Rob.

Installs still use a MFS root filesystem with sysinstall in /stand.

this line reflects the default init_path hardcoded into
sys/kern/init_main.c.

It allows us to use a stock kernel on the installation CDs.
