Correct. The scripts don't automatically do it. You can do it by hand
on RELENG_4 by making install in src/release/sysinstall and then linking
everything else in /stand to /stand/sysinstall.

/stand/sysinstall is from RELENG_4, and /usr/sbin/sysinstall from HEAD.

Depends what release you're running.
