  A few weeks ago i was curious how the 'Auto Defaults for all' 
option in /stand/sysinstall disklabel assigned the partition sizes.
  So i looked at the sysinstall source code and noticed the following 
minimums for the filesystem:

  root_minimum = 20 MB
  swap_minimum = 16 MB
  usr_minimum = 80 MB
  var_minimum = 30 MB

  for a total of 146 MB, since the /usr filesystem gets all the 
remaining diskspace it will complain if < 80 MB is available for it.
