>Description:
it gives sd0 as one option to use as an install media.  However, what
is really needed is sd0a, sd0b, or another partition.

>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:
Either have it print out sd0a for starters, so the user will know to
try sd0a, sd0b, sd0c, etc, or indeed have sd0 or sd1, etc, be the choices
and then have a partition listing of that selected drive, from which the
user can make their final choice of partition.
