Is there any change that the number of entries in the disktable could
be increased from the current value of 8 to say 12 or 16 for the i386
port (and maybe some others). Hard disk sizes have increased rapidly and
the current partition count is a real pain if you want to have several
o/s on one disk and be able to access them concurrently.

Since 1.5* will be a completely different animal to 1.4*, it would seem
this would be a good time to move. Comments ?
