Thanks for the feedback.  I'm wondering if this is still useful,
though, with Darrin's recent improvements to pdisk.  I think it
should be possible to do everything you need with the new pdisk,
so this would be extra and perhaps confusing.  The last thing we
need is more confusion...

I think it would be possible to greatly simplify the system
installation using the system installer and pdisk.
