While trying to PXE install a 6.5 machine I was hit with this failure:

 Installing bsd          100% |**************************| 15163 KB    00:00    
 Installing bsd.mp       100% |**************************| 15248 KB    00:00

ETAtar: Unable to remove directory ./var/tmp: Device busy
 Installing base65.tgz   100% |**************************|   190 MB    00:14    
 Installation of base65.tgz failed. Continue anyway? [no] no

which I suspect is related to this:

 /               1G
 swap            4G-16G 10%
 /tmp            2G
 /usr            4G
 /usr/local      2-6G 10%
 /var            10-20G 20%
 /var/tmp        10-20G 15%
 /var/log        20-40G 30%
 /u              1G-*

I've never run into this until today, when I tried to carve out an explicit
/var/tmp.  Autopartitioning be able to handle /var/tmp, no?
