    /stand/sysinstall was moved to /usr/sbin/sysinstall in FreeBSD 5.x --
    but otherwise, it's the same program.

    As it's an official part of the regular system now, sysinstall will be
    updated as part of the usual 'make {build,install}world' process.
    Under FreeBSD 4.x, as you note, you have to separately update
    sysinstall.
