While we're on the topic :-)  I noticed that the new bootblocks
don't seem to work if you haven't either got a DOS MBR+partition table
or start ?d0a at the beginning of the drive.

For example, I had a disc with

	cyl 0 unused
	cyl 1 to n swap
	cyl n+1 to end wd0a

No matter what I did with installboot, I'd still end up with old boot
block being run :-)  When I zapped cyl 0 with /dev/zero deliberately,
I'd never get a working bootblock again.

I guess this is deliberate and expected behavior with the new bootblocks ?
