Well the manual option is reasonably nice (if simplistic :)
So would you be happy enough with a version of sysinst that
had change partition interface at least as good as 'disklabel -i'
(not that that is perfect by any means).
actually, disklabel -i is limited in editing things other than the
partition table values itself (ie, the other fields in the label),
much like sysinst (and edlabel, i also believe.) disklabel -e appears
to truly be the only real way to access all this info.

Apologies for that - I was concentrating on factoring out all the
port specific much into m4 files :)
well, as i said.. good work :-) it will be nice to share more of these
files with other ports. i kind of hated copying so many files when i
begun work on this (it has since reduced slightly, fortunately :-).
