Things we should try and do before 1.3 release....
-- Add wrapper to install() and upgrade().
On abort, unmount any filesystems mounted by sysinst.
-- check for overlapping to-be-newfs'ed partitions before newfsing.
jump back to disklabel edit if any overlaps found.
needs to skip getrawpartition() (and c on i386).
-- check for already-mouned fileystems before install newfs.
Abort with message.
-- check for already-moutend fileystems before upgrade fsck.
(ignore?)
-- check for already-mounted filesystems before upgrade mount.
Continue, if device mount is where we wanted it?
(Jonathan ran into the above 3 by upgrading from a live
system to a scratch disk. sysinst copied the live /etc/fstab
to the target. The upgrade failed because sysinst wanted
to mount the active system's /usr. Could happen when a
real upgrade aborts, even running from ramdisk root.)
Things to do ....
- Things like having config_network()
-- Things like having config_network()
possibly use the information on the fixed disk instead of having
to ask everything.

nicely for all ports.
-- Check-in of files for amiga and other ports that will use
sysinst for 1.3.
-- fix "disklabel -r -w" vs. "disklabel -w": I still don't grok why
the -r, and the manpage says it will lose totally on sparcs.
Phil, was there some reason to bypass the incore label on i386?
Can we jst do "disklabel -w" everywhere?

-- Michael bumped the in-memory disklabel struct up to 16 entries.
Also add a runtime check in case that grows in future (e.g., slices).
Maybe bump to 32 entries just in case.
