Yeah, I know about the vfstab problem.  It bites me all the time since 
my install server uses ZFS, and I have to remember to modify /etc/vfstab 
to set mount-at-boot to "n".  (When I forget, the first time I reboot 
after installing a new version of the boot media on the install server, 
the boot fails due to milestone system/filesystem-local or somesuch.)
