That's correct. But the installer would not pass without my manually
changing its size to 800Mb so there's a typo somewhere when it checks
it size, tell me it's not large enough, and forces me to enlarge it
from the command line with mac-fdisk. This was with the July 1st
weekly testing build but I haven't tried it again since...
