The default for the size of the root-partition as given by /etc/disktab
is 15884 blocks (~8 MB) for most of the disks referenced there. This is
quite small (too small?) for the current distribution.

IMHO the size of the root-partition should be at least 10 MB (I think
edlabel advises to use at least 20000 blocks for the root-partition)
and maybe even more if /tmp and /var are located in the same partition.

PS: Should we update the defaults for partition-sizes in /etc/disktab
    in order to reflect these new(?) requirements?
