>Description:
	Recent biosboot.sym seems to be broken. If it is installed, my
	machine can't boot NetBSD. (sometimes boot, but easily panic!)
	I'm using mbr_bootsel (fdisk -B) boot selecter.

	I think this problem was introduced around Jan. 30 - Feb. 7.
	(self-build snapshot build on Feb. 7 was broken)

	I replaced biosboot.sym by old one, which was built on Jan. 30,
	then it is OK.
	
	new (broken) biosboot.sym:
	  -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  59541 Feb 20 18:06 biosboot.sym
	  MD5 (biosboot.sym) = ef31dddfccd70a0356fb63badce808c8

	old biosboot.sym:
	  -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  58272 Jan 30 14:22 biosboot.sym
	  MD5 (biosboot.sym) = f2ecf1d4e1ef429d201a938fe8e78161

	Another biosboot_foobar.sym are not tested.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/mdec && ./installboot biosboot.sym /dev/rwd0a
>Fix:
	I don't know.
