>Description:
the miniroot sysint is unable to partition, or newfs a clean drive.
the partitions sometimes aren't where you put them, and sysint can
never mount the the newfs'ed partitions.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
use the miniroot installer on a clean drive
	
>Fix:
partition & newfs with a 1.6.2 installer, then continue with a 2.0_BETA
installer
