Bruce Evans 444da1eb3c Make this actually work. It always failed in FreeBSD because it attempted
to open the mounted block device containing the directory to put the bad
sector files in, and opening of mounted block devices hasn't been allowed
since Net/2 or before.  Attempt to open the raw device instead.  Be more
careful about long names.

Use lstat() instead of stat() to search for block devices so that my
symlink to the default floppy doesn't cause problems.

Check for truncation of the block number when it is squeezed through the
mknod() interface.  The maximum used to be only 32767, but now it large
enough.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.

For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.

For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1  We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!

Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Comments should be sent to:

Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you
were able to get the system installed, otherwise to:

	bugs@FreeBSD.org

And general questions to:

Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).

Thanks!
