Cool.  One more observation.  When I want to add a new drive the label
option insists in making /, /usr/, and swap if I only have the new drive
selected.

Are you supposed to select all the drives and existing partitions when you
use sysinstall to label?  I guess it needs some way of differentiating
between a new installation and a change of configuration.
