>Description:

	When doing an upgrade (or perhaps always), sysinstall should
	ask for confirmation before doing a newfs on any of the
	filesystems.  I know that it says beforehand to be careful
	of doing a newfs, and indeed I knew very well that I didn't
	want to newfs, but somehow (I assume because I accidentally
	hit "t" when setting my /usr mointpoint) I managed to newfs
	my /usr anyway.  Extra confirmations are annoying, but
	since a newfs is not something you're likely to do much,
	I think the check is worth the annoyance.
