Give the entry in disktab a new name and refer to it when the installation
procedure ask for the type of disk. Do not destroy the original entries
in /etc/disktab, they may be very handy at an other momement.

You can still use the minidisk program on your SAUTIL disk from AOS 4.3
to create the diskpartitions if you feel more comfortable with that utility.
