Sounds good to me.  I was looking at it yesterday.

But the internal data structure used by sysinst is not compatbile with
either struct disklabel or the ascii output from disklabel or
disklabel -R.

 There's no input parser, just the menu-based, er, structure editor :)

You'd need to add code to do an ioctl to get the disklabel, then
translate it into the internal structure used by sysinst.
that much is a very SMOP.

But what to do if there's no label on the disk?
