But that is one of the things I want. Surely there must be a way to get
this installation working without ripping the disk out of the laptop (a
tedious operation).

I tried manually mounting partitions from the fixit (floppy) shell.
My new partitions are 
/dev/ad0s2a     /
/dev/ad0s2b     swap
/dev/ad0s2d     /var
/dev/ad0s2e     /tmp
/dev/ad0s2f     /usr

but when I issue 'mount /dev/ad0s2a /mnt', I get the message
mount: /dev/ad0s2a: Operation not permitted

Huh?
