Patience is a virtue, especially for a user of suninstall. My error was
to interpret 10 minutes of

        Making device nodes

as a "system hang". It isn't; it is only a much more slow MAKEDEV than
I remember from earlier SunOS installations. The 4.1.1 MAKEDEV uses a
shell subroutine; that may be the reason for the slower performance.

Best regards, thanks for the help.
