A while ago there was a problem with some i386 BIOSes refusing to boot
a disk if you had installed from sector 0, but that problem was fixed
(at least for me) by Wolfgang Solfrank when he changed the geometry in
the default mbr.

If sysinst still insists on installing in track 1 that is a bug that
should be fixed, IMHO.
