>Description:

sysinstall does not newfs & label new disks as you would expect.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install a new disk in an existing system.  Fire up sysinstall, go to
disk menu.  At the partitioning screen, if you just hit "w" nothing
happens.  I would expect the disk to be labeled & newfs'd.  If you
check the "formatting options" on a partition, and then hit "w", it
works as expected.

>Fix:

No clue.

rwatson asked me to send in this PR, so here you go.  :)

State-Changed-Why:  
sysinstall isn't really designed as a post-installation configuration  
tool - you should use sade instead or, preferably, gpart. 
However, it does work if you create partitions in the fdisk editor then  
hit 'W' to write out the changes.
