Hi.

A recent commit to -current was done to re-enable the use of sysctl
kern.disks by sorting its output in libdisk.

This might break sysinstall as it is why the disabling was done in the
first place.

I have mildly tested sysinstall with the -stable patches, and it seems
to order the disks properly. I haven't tested an install or real-life
partitioning.

Those wanting to do so need to apply the attached patch and rebuild
libdisk + sysinstall:

# cd /usr/src/lib/libdisk
# patch < patch
# make clean all install
# cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
# make clean all install
# /stand/sysinstall

Since I am not aware of what precisely the original bugs were, I cannot
fully test this.

Also, I won't be available to test this in the following few days. I
will be back on the 27th and might take my mail sporadically in between.
I will stay for a few days and leave again until the 2nd, so I will be
available for real testing only then.

Thanks for your attention,

A.
