Log:
  Remove the "dedicated disk mode" partitioning option from sysinstall, in
  both the disk partitioning screen (the 'F' key) and via install.cfg (the
  VAR_DEDICATED_DISK option).  This functionality is currently broken in 8.x
  due to libdisk and geom generating different partition names; this commit
  merely acts to help steer users away from the breakage.

Is there any other way to not align FS block to the ugly legacy 63
sectors per track boundary with sysinstall now? I think RAIDs won't be
happy. May be it would be better to fix it?


I typically tell people to align the first fdisk slice to sector 256 instead of 63. That covers most of the common RAID stripe sizes. I leave it up to someone with more courage than me to code that into sysinstall.
