I had that with a few machines, but I thought I had done something wrong 
since I had been hand editing them.  The fix is easy:  edit the 
machine's XML file and renumber the elements under the Boot element to 
have positions greater than zero.  Also, for each snapshot in the XML 
file, there will be a separate Boot element to fix.
