This is a duplicate for PR # i386/251. My first idea has also been to blame disklabel, but thinking over it, the disklabel is located midst in the boot blocks, so it's really a Good Thing (tm) that disklabel(8) insists on correct data. sysinstall needs to be fixed instead. I'm going to close this PR, since it's not particularly useful to have a duplicate one. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
