Clarification:  The make release of the 4th of October installs correctly
for me.  I see these error messages but the installation works fine
otherwise.  Maybe because the partitions I specifiy already exist.  Maybe
because I have fdisk, with a DOS slice underneath the BSD partitions.

I don't think this is a DPT problem, but again, this may be a large
partition (> 4GB) problem.
