I thought you'd managed to get it to fail whne typed in at the shell.
In any case sysinst execs disklabel to write the label and then newfs,
so it is unlikely that sysinst itself it at fault.

I've changed the error message (on head) so that it includes both sizes.
So at least there will be some extra info!

There was a problem with an uninitialised structure (from which a size
could have been taken) - but that was fixed before netbsd 2.0.
