I almost forgot, I also ran into another problem once I did get the
installation done. I know what causes this but haven't found a way to fix
it yet. Once the system is installed the only person that can start X is
the root user. Its a permissions problem that stems from having a
different device name for the console than what XF86 is expecting. I had
the same problem when I was compiling 2.4.0-test? kernels for my systems
and finally just stopped compiling in the new devfs.
