So how are you planning on doing disk partitioning?  This was
a major problem with the 1.2 and earlier install procedures.
Now that you can get the BIOS geometry from the bootblocks,
it should be even much easier to do the partitioning correctly.
I think this is a change that should be reversed unless you
are putting in the code directly into sysinst to do the 
partitioning (which would be a duplication of code.)
