This changes. Already with gpart you cannot make kernel dumps
on partitions that are not of type "freebsd-swap". In the
future we will probably have newfs(8) check the partition-type
in order to determine which file-system to create. The same
applies to fsck(8).

Fortunately: the tools are there in FreeBSD to repartition and
change partition types. The only problem is that we don't have
them available during installation.

It is my intend to have sysinstall switch to gpart on platforms
that most need it. However, it's not something that will happen
for 7.0-RELEASE...
