There used to be different boot floppies for ATAPI and "normal"/SCSI,
but now there's only one boot floppy image on the CD-ROM.  I also
noticed that in 2.1.7 the /etc/adduser.* files don't seem to get
installed, so the adduser script always fails, especially through
/stand/sysinstall.  Anyone know if this is fixed in 2.1.7.1 or 2.2.1?
