The most obvious one is that it talked about /usr/mdec/installboot.
However that procedure is just too complicated - There just has to be a
better way!

sysinst (and maybe some other progs) can, and should, help make this easier.

If you need a separate partition for the kernel then the layout needs to be:
	<kernel>		- not needed for some ports (eg i386)
	<raid-header>
	<root>
	<other filesystems...>
Then it is just a 'simple' matter of putting the boot code and labels
in the correct places.
