Hi
The system installer breaks on a large disk (actually a RAID
container) aacd0. For some reason it thinks that the disk is 6250496
sectors bigger than it actually is.
aacd0: <RAID 5> on aac0
aacd0: 610190MB (1249669120 sectors)
Yet, sysinstall has the size as 1255914653 sectors.
This confused one of the "remote hands" quite significantly.
Eventually I told him to just pick a small size and fix it once I
could get onto the box.
