Of course, if you're really ambitious, you can also snarf the 4.1BSD
"mount", "fsck", etc. and put "/etc/fstab" into S5; having a centralized
registry of "known" file systems is nicer than having them recorded in
"/etc/rc", "/etc/checklist", etc..

If you do start from the S3 version, remember that the S3 version of
"restor", unlike the 4.1 version, doesn't maintain the "s_tfree" and
"s_tinode" fields in the super block, unlike the 4.1 version.
