After the initial install, there's a prompt to set up the root password, then a drop into dselect.
If, while the dselect session is going on, a login as root is done on another VC, that login also gets a prompt to set up root and a drop into dselect. The initial root login sequence is changed when either of the two dselect dropins exits. The root login sequence should be changed before the dropin to dselect. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Bill Mitchell)
