I recently used the hammer.sh script in there to set up a new system
with MFI disks; the installer was confused by the 1.8T disk and fdisk
choked on strange cylinder counts.  The script had one bug I think
caused by my disk being at mfi0 instead of ad0 or da0, I think I have
to check my notes.  Otherwise, it worked very well.
