>Description:

When you go to install a FreeBSD system and do the "auto-defaults" for all
under the label menu, FreeBSD makes a good set of guesses regarding the size
of freebsd partitions.

However, if you disagree with *any* setting, there is no easy way to just
modify the size distribution of the partitions.

i.e. I'd like to type "A", then move the cursor to the var line and type
"S128M" or some such to change the size to 32Mb.

Please make sure we can do this in son-of-sysinstall
