I spoke too soon...

   <ai_device_vtoc_slices>
               <slice_action>delete</slice_action>
               <slice_number>7</slice_number>
  </ai_device_vtoc_slices>

Fails on installadm

Does it need the <slice_size> ? I added slice size on the delete and  
the installadm works now, but the problem I have it I dont know the  
slice size I am deleting...
