Hi,

My intention is not to install FreeBSD on a 3K disk. My question is pure 
mathematical, if the bsdinstall will segfault, division by zero or 
anything like that, if one should try to install FreeBSD on a 3K disk, 
because you round up the size of the disk to be bigger than it actually is.

Should there be a check for too small disks in there?
