svn commit: r211007 - stable/8/usr.sbin/sysinstall

[Nagilum]

Right, ppl having / as zfs probably wont use sysinstall.
Having /boot below the BIOS limit is obviously useful for being able  
to boot FreeBSD however.
But I guess in those cases a few hundred megs aren't really important.
Thanks for the reply..
