If I subsequently reboot the installation CD, take the option in the install program, and use the disklabel program, first with '-w', and then with '-B', and then reboot (after removing the CD), the system boots, but not correctly (at least not as I would expect) because the "boot:" prompt apppears. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
