I just mounter /H-i386* to /usr, pretty close to the unix setup.  /bin,
/etc et al must be made and appropriate things put into it for most
programs to work.  Perhaps already having those in the next beta would
be useful.  If way back when, the install tar's had a /tmp, imagine all
the questions that wouldn't have arrisen :).  Is there some other logic
to like putting termcap in /H-i386*/etc rather than in /etc where it
needs to be for programs to pick it up?
