	(that's not the machine experiencing the problem)
>Description:
	Machine has two disks, ad0 (existing 5.0 system) and da0 (scratch
        disk).  Selecting da0 as the target for 'partition' and then
        following that by the sequence 'label/distribution/commit'
        results in a wiped ad0.
>How-To-Repeat:
	see above.  I've tried this 2 times, the second very carefully,
        and got the same undesired result.  (By intention, neither
        disk was a production disk).  I'm hoping this is still, somehow,
        pilot error, but I'm skeptical at this point.
>Fix:
	unknown.
