I thought we only used vnd0.

One thing which help swith disk overflows is that our scripts used to use
the installed disktab, even if DESTDIR were set. I think I've fixed this.

One time the install floppy size had grown (because it had to), but I
hadn't updated /etc/disktab, so I was still making old, small install
floppies. :-(

Take care,
