Summary: doesn't come with the update distribution

summary of responses:

There are two distributions of 4.3 bsd, one for new sites, and one for
existing 4.2 sites.  The latter does not come with a console floppy
or cassette; you're supposed to use the ones that came with 4.2.

That's fine for my machines, but it doesn't work with RA disks (the
partitions are all different), as one group here has already found
out and kludged around.  I guess I need to make up a cassette for
the groups lacking that expertise (i.e, almost everyone with RA's).
