>Description:
        When installing a new system, sysinst allows the option to use
        FFSv2.  However, if FFSv2 is chosen, after the installation the
        system won't boot.  The bootloader appears to not support it.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
        We should either make sysinst warn that the boot loader doesn't
        support booting from FFSv2 file systems, or eventually fix the
        loader to support it...
