Did you get reasonable output from "disklabel sdX"? In my case
the partition table reported was all messed up. Now it reports
the correct partition information.

Yes, I now use smaller partitions. Instead of a > 1 Gb Root&Usr I know
used a separate root with ~50 Mb and a usr with ~500 Mb. So it may be
that smaller partitions was what did it. The screwed up "disklabel"
output and the fact that APS PowerTools finally ruined the whole disk
content lead me to belive the PowerTools software was the cuase, not
the installer. But it was only a guess.
