I use sysinst on i386 to get around that wired fdisk thing...
I have everything in place to boot a machine diskless. So 
untaring somthing into the nfs-root, droping somthing into
/tftpboot and a vi /etc/bootptab, ... or the like is done in
a few minutes. If the machine is booted diskless, disklabnel, 
newfs, mount, untar, installboot, ... is easy to do. 
Therefore I prefere to do it by hand.
