>Description:
The following patch teaches sysinstall about treating UFS partitions as disks.
This allows you to read cfg files and dists off it.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
This is only a straw man patch I haven't had time to fully test it.
Also, libdisks support of extended partitions is not the same as the kernel
which can be a problem if you have an "odd" setup (like my laptop :)
