1.4's sysinst seems to think I have a 1MB disk, but it's about 1GB larger
than that.  I'm installing on sd1, sd0 is DU 4.0D.  Where does it think
it's getting this info, and how do I fix it?

I booted off of sd1, using the diskimage... so it is using the disklabel
from that to decide it is a 1MB disk?  I'd think that's not the desired
behavior.
