>Description:
	installboot won't let me put a boot block onto a 720KB diskette
(3.5") which is accessed via /dev/rfd0f.  It complains that I'm not
using the `a' partition.  I cannot use that partition as that will
select the wrong density.

>How-To-Repeat:
% /usr/mdec/installboot -f -v /usr/mdec/biosboot.sym /dev/rfd0f
installboot: use partition 'a'!
Exit 1
