Temporary workaround for (was Re: out of inodes... new install)

    A temporary workaround using the existing (broken) installer is to
    go through the steps normally until you reach the point where it wants
    to install files.  At that point it will have newfs'd the filesystems
    but not yet mounted them.

    At this point you can flip to another console, login as root, and 
    re-newfs the partition /usr is on.  So, e.g. for George it would be
    either (if you want 300-400K inodes):

	newfs -U -f 2048 -b 16384 /dev/ad0s2f

    or (if you are ultra conservative and want 700K inodes):

	newfs -U -f 1024 -b 8192 /dev/ad0s2f

    Then flip back to the installer and tell it to start installing files.

    Note that if you bring in /usr/ports that's ~168K files, so it might
    be prudent to use 1024/8192.
