Release Candidate 3 Bugs (r7744, 2006-07-17)

warnings during boot: /etc/fstab: no such file or directory, /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is write-protected, mounting read-only (fix in submaster)
In installation after partitioning, right after "Install the system", pressing back jumps to postinstall, not to partitioning again. (won't fix, wait for new installer)
message from mkinitrd: Copying other files ... /etc/conf/dm/mounts is requested by /etc/conf/initrd/initrd_dm but doesn't exist (fix in submaster)
no keymap selection up to installation (won't fix, wait for new installer)

netrunner: everything here was experienced in qemu
- no utf8 locales selectable
- installation under qemu full virtualization does not work (kernel crashes when booting)
- chose X automated config (X -configure) in stone, screen blacks out and does not respond any more (even not to ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-backspace) (known problem. Try "X -configure; X -config xorg.conf.new", this should give you an X server which you can then kill and continue working. Probably a problem with qemu)
- in stone, I enter Device Mapper Configuration and back right out, but it nevertheless creates a new initrd for an annoying bit of time (fix in submaster)

rocket update wouldn't work as intended (fix in submaster)
update extraversion for all fixes! need to get used to this... (fix in submaster)
keyboard layout list in kcontrol is empty! (fix in submaster)
- add more!

the evbug module gets loaded automatically and pollutes dmesg (fix in submaster)
tetex download checksum changed (fix in submaster)
re-create initrd automatically if needed (fix in submaster)
network installation troubles (need to unset/set environment variables manually) (won't fix, installer rewrite is around the corner)
irda-utils' man-pages have crc errors (fix in submaster)
kernel: CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not enabled. it should be! (fix in submaster)
- add more!
