Add text to `whole disk'' vs `normal' menu that explains to the user 

just what the hell sysinst is asking for.  (Why do we include the
`dangerously dedicated at all?)

Fix dangerous UI botch: make `normal' install the default, not `whole disk'.

Partial-disk installation creates a partition, or `slice', for NetBSD
in your disk's MBR partition table. Whole-disk installation is
`dangerously dedicated': it takes over the entire MBR. This WILL
overwrite all existing data and OSes on the disk. It also makes it
impossible to install other OSes in future (unless you re-install
NetBSD from scratch, using only part of the disk).
