This scheme is what showed up whenever I createdthe full disk label & is
definetely not what I asked for - Looking back at it now in retrospec,
that layout looks plenty out of whack.

Regardless, by deleteing the a slice (thank you Richard Fillion
<rick@rhix.ods.org.), the aboot install at least appeared to have took.
I'm sure I'll redo it over serveral times till I've firgured it out, but
for the time being, I'd like to make sure the base install worked. I
didn't see any milo or aboot prompt on boot - am I missing something/
where do I head from here?
