Make some changes to the way the label editor reads script variables so you don't need to re-enter it for each and every filesystem. Heads up! This change is incompatible with the previous scripting format, so those folks (all 2 of you) using config files should take a look at the changes to the sample install.cfg file for the diskLabelEditor's new calling syntax. Finally write a man page for this thing, documenting all of the above and more. I can't drive a stake through this thing's heart without properly documenting it first, so please consider this step #1 in that process (to be honest, sysinstall will also live on for some time in the 2.2. branch since it's unlikely that the new install tools will ever make it over there - they're strictly 3.0 material).

Oh crud, did I ever screw the pooch! Rather than sync this with -stable, I backed-out the changes in -current and didn't touch stable at all (I thought I had my patch order reversed, not what actually happened). AIEEE! I can't even blame the crack for this one since I broke my crack pipe a few weeks ago. I think sleep deprivation gets the blame for this one.

Say welcome to 'sade', the SysAdmins Disk Editor. It's the fdisk and disklabel part of sysinstall. So sysinstall may retire now, we have the important non-install part of it covered.

The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for
manipulating gmirror or gvinum stuff. These will be added
later.
