I would like to just partition, label and newfs the disk; livefs wants to waste my time by installing other stuff like the kernel & man pages etc that I have not even selected; and if I use postinstall configuration, that doesn't do anything. Or should I use fixit and then do the manual thing? Sysinstall requires already being booted... ??? Or do I do it manually as per Polytropon's recipe of fdisk, bsdlabel, newfs mount, dump/restore and use/play? ;-)
