Clarification: The make release of the 4th of October installs correctly
for me. I see these error messages but the installation works fine
otherwise. Maybe because the partitions I specifiy already exist. Maybe
because I have fdisk, with a DOS slice underneath the BSD partitions.
I don't think this is a DPT problem, but again, this may be a large
partition (> 4GB) problem.
