>Description:
	src/release/fixit.profile has:
	export EDITOR="/mnt2/stand/vi"
	export PAGER="/mnt2/stand/more"
	but these paths are invalid in the Fixit environment:
	/mnt2/stand is a symlink pointing to "/rescue", and there is no
	/rescue.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot disc1.iso.
	Enter Fixit shell in CD-ROM mode.
	Use disklabel -e <some device>
	Observe error message:
	disklabel: /mnt2/stand/vi: No such file or directory

>Fix:
	For EDITOR, I see at least three possible solutions:
	1. Change fixit.profile to set EDITOR to /mnt2/rescue/vi
	2. Have sysinstall create a symlink /rescue -> /mnt2/rescue.
	3. Change the /stand symlink to point to "rescue" (instead
	   of "/rescue").

	For PAGER, we have an additional issue: there is no "more" and no
	"less" either in /mnt2/rescue. We could possibly use
	PAGER=/mnt2/usr/bin/more, or else add "more" to the /rescue builtin
	utilities.
