/sitename coming up read-only on AIX PS/2

Nevermind.  On the final installed system, /etc/fsck was somehow a
link to /etc/dfsck instead of being a separate program of its own.
/etc/fsck needs to run to check /generic/dev/sitename during the
time that /sitename is mounted readonly.  /etc/dfsck attempts
to create pipes on /sitename and fails, causing the initial
startup to fail (with /sitename still mounted r/o.)

The fix was to ensure that /etc/fsck was correctly present on the
final installed system.
