4.3R sysinstall fails to create swap partition on second run

How-To-Repeat: New installation > Custom install (new HD) >
Create partition > Create labels (MISSING SWAP) > 
Commit installation > Error appears "No swap etc" >
Relabel drive (do not Write/commit in the Label editor) > 
Commit installation

Either 
a) The label changes made the second time were not written to disk, or
b) The swap partition was not written to disk the second time,
despite me specifying it.

Thanks !!

Because Eric likes both sysinstall and libdialog, rendering him 
eminently qualified for the job

assign idle sysinstall bugs to freebsd-qa, as suggested by murray

Greg,

please indicate whether or not you've seen this bug on a more recent
version of FreeBSD. If not, I suggest to close this PR.

Dear Greg, 

Unfortunately, this PR has languished for a very, very long time.  Chances 
are, this has been fixed in a more recent FreeBSD version.  Is there any 
chance you could try to reproduce it on 6.3-RELEASE or 7.0-RC1?  I'll go 
ahead and close the PR under the assumption this is fixed unless I hear 
back otherwise in a month or so.  Thanks for the report, and we're very 
sorry about the abysmal response time!
