>Description:
In sysinst's "option a" (Install NetBSD to hard disk), it would be
useful if it were possible to use the existing partition table.
Currently, "custom installation" expects to partition the disk,
but it does not pick up and display the current partition table.
I'd like to request that it start from the current partition table.
