>Description:

	Invoking /stand/sysinstall with having inserted a 640MB MOD (2048 bytes per sector) for od0 causes sysinstall to quit after ca. 20 seconds without printing any messages. If you invoke sysinstall without a disk in the drive, it works fine. Unfortunately, selecting the disk label editor, it won't let you to choose the device to label then.

>How-To-Repeat:

	see description

>Fix:
	
	use disklabel and newfs
