In the next couple of days I was going to send something to tech-install
about making a better disklabel editor for sysinst, but also something
that could handle multiple disks.

Hopefully sysinst will get to the stage where it's a useful program on
an installed system as well (adding new packages, (re)configuring system
config files) - maybe it would be good enough to keep disklabel(8) and
use sysinst for more complex tasks.  Of the top of my head, making
something that can handle multiple disks as a standalone program seems
like overkill and would probably make integration with sysinst harder,
but I'm open to ideas...
