I'll try a 2nd machine.

I added the correct MN tag so the install would continue.

Didn't have to restart.

This is a perfect example.  The problem is that && does not work
inside of [ ] for that line to work with && it needs to be:

if [ -e $SETUPSTATEDIR/etckeeper ] && [ $# -gt 1 ];

Change the [ ] to [[ ]] and the original line will work.
