   	Well the manual option is reasonably nice (if simplistic :)
   	So would you be happy enough with a version of sysinst that
   	had change partition interface at least as good as 'disklabel -i'
   	(not that that is perfect by any means).

actually, disklabel -i is limited in editing things other than the
partition table values itself (ie, the other fields in the label),
much like sysinst (and edlabel, i also believe.)  disklabel -e appears
to truly be the only real way to access all this info.

   	Apologies for that - I was concentrating on factoring out all the
   	port specific much into m4 files :)


well, as i said.. good work :-)  it will be nice to share more of these
files with other ports.  i kind of hated copying so many files when i
begun work on this (it has since reduced slightly, fortunately :-).
