Glad you noticed.  It is a chicken and egg to include a hash on
install media that then itself gets hashed.  Don't expect bsd.rd
to happen.  X is another matter.  It's not realistic to build X
everytime base is built; for that and for other reasons, the
X hashes cannot (yet) be included in the bsd.rd.

Since you asked, I would recommend you not waste your time trying
to figure this out.

| Hi,
| 
| I tested the installer from May 14th and noticed that downloaded sets get 
| checked against sha256.  Nice job!  However there is bsd.rd which doesn't 
| get checked and neither do the "x*" packages.  
| 
| I understand that the checksum of bsd.rd can't be created before the bsd.rd
| image is finished, but I'm left wondering that perhaps at the cost of
| pretty looks a warning be put in place that says "warning set bsd.rd will
| not be checksummed".
| 
| Let me know if I should break my head over writing this change in 
| install.sub.

| Regards,
