> Synopsis:       sysinst writes garbage to screen on old bsd partition ID

I'm fairly sure (given the limited information) that this is caused
by sysinst processing 16 entries from the label when it only contains 8.
As well as getting 'random' numbers for the partition base and size, it
also bindly indexed fstypenames[] with the partition type.

In the worst case this can lead to a core dump.

Both have been fixed for current, but not for 1.6.2,.

Does anyone think it necessary to fix this for 1.6?
(two 2-line additions to label.c, but not a pullup...)
