>Description:

When installing from floppies in 5.x, if the media is CD/DVD, at 

commit time it will complain that it cannot mount the CD/DVD cuz 

there's no /dist



>How-To-Repeat:

Make kern.flp, mfsroot.flp and ISO from current

Boot the floppies

Configure an installation with CD/DVD as media

Commit



>Fix:

In src/release/Makefile

line 669: mkdir -p etc/defaults dev mnt stand/etc/defaults stand/help

Add dist so to make it:

line 669: mkdir -p etc/defaults dev mnt stand/etc/defaults stand/help dist
