I had this in mind when I suggested dropping support for the not so old
interfaces.  `disklabel -B' was too dangerous to use routinely before
2.0.5.

This discussion is moot if pre-2.0.5 is really-old.  `struct bootinfo'
hasn't changed since 6 months before 2.0.5R :-).  I thought that
really-old meant pre-2.0 and old meant pre-2.0.5.
