Right, and it looks like the install procedure is trashing the partition
table, too.

It sounds like I should be doing the entire installation manually, yes?
Can't re-write the disklabel from the script? Must label ahead of time
with pfdisk?  

Thanks, Jeff, I'll probably proceed by hand... I have two more days
to devote to this, then it's on to pmax...
