Well, that's sort of intentional I guess. :-)

Libdisk is no longer in the release directory.. :-)

Check again - I have turned some of these off now.

I use a proper disktab entry.. :-)

It should allow you to invoke any of the submenus directly based
on command-line arguments, so you could say:
sysinstall label sd0
Which could in turn be called from a `disklabel' script:
#!/bin/sh
# New disklabel
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo Usage: $0 drive
exit 1
fi
sysinstall label $1

Check to see what I've done in -current; I believe it should work
without a warning now.
