>Release:        2.2.6-RELEASE
>Environment:
New install off 2.2.6-RELEASE CD (no uname output since it's now running
a custom kernel)
>Description:
Did a custom install and split a 2G scsi disk into (2) 1G slices to get
around the 8 partitions/slice limit.  sysinstall marked both slices
active, and the standard boot loader halted with "Invalid partion
table" error.  Was able to boot the system using a floppy.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Booted with a floppy, then used fdisk -a to set partition 1 active, and
it also set partion 2 inactive.  System now boots without any problems.
