No, it wasn't.  The sysinst kernels still cannot fiddle the partition map.

If this isn't fixed in time for 1.5.1, I can put a MacOS-side disk
partitioner in installation/misc and make sysinst bypass partitioning, for
now.  (I've been holding off installing my LC III for just the purpose of
testing out sysinst's problems.)
