The only concern I have is: what happens if you try to re-install a
machine that really only has 400MB drive in it?  Do any such animals
exist?  Will the installation realize that it is a smaller disk and
DTRT?  Or will the user be left with a 100MB var, 100MB swap, 100MB
cache?

In the normal Solaris installation, the user is allowed to hand-modify
the partitions that will be created.  Is there a way to do that as
well?  Propose some reasonable defaults but let the user change them
if so desired?

Just my $.02
