send me a note once you have initial code. I'd be happy to add something

Indeed, that's a problem. But whoever creates a disklabel.conf must use his
brain...
I'm thinking about my server installs here. it's always the same: 200m /, 1
or 2g swap, 200m /tmp, 3g /usr, ~30% of the remaining space /home and
everything else for /var/log. Would be great if this could be covered by a
disklabel.conf.
