NetBSD 1.5ALPHA2 pmax (and alpha) back to at least 1.4 on alpha.

>Description:
sysinst uses miniroot's size to determine size of disk
>How-To-Repeat:
write miniroot to disk.  try to use sysinst to install on disk.  sysinst
doesn't believe disk is larger than miniroot.
>Fix:
install on a disk other than the one the miniroot is installed on.
sub-optimal if you only have one disk.
