I was having some problems with the "install" script, when trying to
re-install my disk, and decided to go through it by hand.  I looked
through the install binary so I could copy some of the commands (it
runs at least some as subprocesses), and found these:

    No disk drive to install 386BSD on.
    Would you care to have it installed on your TV instead? (y/n)
    Sorry, installation on TV sets not allowed per CCIR, "Green Book"
    15th Plenary Assembly, Geneva 1982 Vol. 9, Part I,
    International Telecommunications Union.

Um... has anyone ever actually gotten these messages? :-)
