There was a similar bug that would make sysinstall error out if you tried to label a disk slice, which was fixed a few days ago in the -current sources. Your best bet though is probably to download a 2.2 boot disk and load sysinstall from there, or try cvsup'n the sources and making /usr/src/release/sysinstall. - alex
