In my case (which I think might actually be fairly common), the DHCP
server doesn't provide a hostname. In this case, I type in a hostname
which gets later ignored and sysinstall doesn't write anything to rc.conf.
Perhaps if the DHCP server doesn't provide a hostname, sysinstall can
use the one that the user supplied?

When I logged in, I thought the machine had freaked out and locked up
because there was all sorts of garbage (mostly 8-bit characters) on the
screen, but on further examination it was just the contents of /etc/motd.
It would be much easier to explain if I had saved it =)
I can't repeat the keyboard thing, so I can't expect you to -- just
something annoying that happened.
I dunno what to suggest about /usr/X11R6/lib/aout. Earlier X
distributions came with it; perhaps just copy the directory from an
earlier one?
