>Description:

	When trying to install NetBSD/i386 -current, you cannot select
	FFSv2 for the new partitions, sysinst simply ignores it. However, you
	you can select it if LFS or another one (I have only tested LFS) type
	is used, later you can change again to use FFSv2 (and after this dance:
	default->LFS->FFSv2), it's accepted.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	sysinst, partition menu->default type(FFSv1)->try FFSv2->change is ignored
>Fix:

	I used this to use FFSv2:
	
	partition menu->FFSv1 (default)->LFS->FFSv2 (now it's accepted).
