commit 8069a05927276f30756e2c317a2ff24a1bbaedb4

    installer: When setting the slice type for >2TB, ignore fdisk warnings.
    
    With disks >2TB this step will lead to some whining from fdisk(8), but
    since we'll boot anyway (with 34ea800d, we resort to the media size
    when a maxed out slice size is detected), just ignore any issues which
    fdisk(8) reports in this case.
    
    After this commit, installing and booting from that installation on a
    disk which is >2TB will work (tested with a 3TB ahci attached drive as
    well as with a 4.5TB hptrr(4) RAID).
