Yes, we need a /stand during the install.  But not post install.

Feh. Lets also make /bin2 and /sbin2 incase /[s]bin, /rescue, and /stand
get messed up.  If you've messed up /[s]bin and /rescue you should give
up and do a binary reinstall.  /stand waits space and there is now zero
use for it given /rescue.
