        I hope this is the right way to add to my PR...
 
        I've now tried "daily-HEAD 201002210000Z," and sysinst will now 
 install on the 1.5 TB hard drive (and also automatically selects 
 FFSv2 which is really nice), but after reboot I get the following 
 errors on the green text pre-boot initialization screen:
 
                WARNING: No file system modules have been loaded
                no file system for wd0 (dev 0x0)
                cannot mount root, error = 79
 
        Then I am prompted for the root device.  It doesn't work.  ASau in 
 IRC suspects that the boot loader needs to be fixed.
 
        Note:  My root ("/") partition is the size of the drive (minus a 
 tiny swap partition), for nearly 1.5 TBs.
