>Description:
	After installing from bootfloppies on blank disk system will not find
	bootblocks.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Blanked start of disk with
	    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0d bs=1m count=10
	Installed from standard floppies, selected 'setup MBR', setup first
	MBR partition to NetBSD, entire size of disk.
	Disk not bootable after install.


>Fix:
(Workaround)
	Load bootblocks from floppy, then use to load kernel & root from disk.
	'fdisk -i' and [y] answered to both questions and system is bootable.

	Addendum: 'fdisk -i' reports
	    "Installed bootfile doesn't support required options"
	no matter how many times it is run and [y] answered to both questions
