Comments/Problems:
Partitions actually appear to be BSD disklabels, which is good. However
they put /home on partition 3 which I thought was a no-no as they're
supposed to be like Solaris hosts where partition 3 is whole disk.
I could be wrong.
CRITIAL ERROR with installation of aboot. It did not install because
aboot depends on aboot-base and that is not installed. That means
the d-i failed to work. On Alpha hosts no aboot means no booting so
its really important to have it there.
