  The 'A' option in sysinstall doesn't work :(

  It creates a BSD partition (I think) inside the slice, but the loader 
doesn't understand BSD partitions.

  What you should do is just create a single '/' filesystem on your slice.

  Nah, it's me, I forgot to disable that option when it was first 
reported to break things :(

Peter.
