How the heck do you add new disks?  fdisk complains it can't get the disk
parameters from any of the /dev devices and sysinstall isn't writing out
partition information even when you say "yes, dammit, I really want to
write it out now and not later".

I'd really like to see the partition and label parts of sysinstall pulled
out into an "newdisk" utility (although it should support more than the
4 devices that sysinstall sees).
