After copious amounts of reading and experimenting.  It seems as
though diskPartitionEdit doesn't support specifying a starting
cylinder.  When I specify partition=all, it starts that slice at
sector 63.  I'd like to start it at 64 or above.  Is it feasible to
include gpart in the mfsroot and use that to partition the drive
before sysinstall continues with the installation?
