Subject:   panic during 2.1.5 install...

I reported this problem at 2.1, and I've gotten it again
when installing 2.1.5 on the same machine.

After the install does the dislable, it begins to do the
newfs on the root partition, I get:

  panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc

which, of course, doesn't get anything installed :-)

I think it has something to do with the 8192 block size, if
I alter this parameter, things work out better.  Also,
judicious selection of the cyl/h/sector sizes seem to repair
the problem as well...
