Hi all,

as everybody knows, some partitions are special: 'a' holds the root
partition, 'b' contains the swap, 'c' is the entire disk.

During an install, their speciality is honored:
the-part-of-install-which-writes-fstab doesn't
e.g. write the swap partition into the fstab,
and ignores the c 'partition'.

It would be nice if it also treated the /altroot partition
specially; namely, if it got written into fstab as

/dev/wd0X /altroot ffs xx 0 0

which is what daily(8) wants it to be for ROOTBACKUP to work.
