But that is one of the things I want. Surely there must be a way to get
this installation working without ripping the disk out of the laptop (a
tedious operation).

I tried manually mounting partitions from the fixit (floppy) shell.
My new partitions are 
/dev/ad0s2a	/
/dev/ad0s2b	swap
/dev/ad0s2d	/var
/dev/ad0s2e	/tmp
/dev/ad0s2f	/usr

but when I issue 'mount /dev/ad0s2a /mnt', I get the message
mount: /dev/ad0s2a: Operation not permitted

Huh?
