And, it turns out, the i386 disklabel will put a phony DOS disklabel on your
disk whether you ask for it or not.

Research indicates that the i386 disklabel goes at Sec 1 off 0 of rwd0c, but
that rwd0c is not quite at the front of the disk. The necessary correction:

	dd if=/dev/rwd0c of=/dev/rwd0d count=1 skip=1 seek=1

Mark/Neil, perhaps a mention could be made of this in the CATS notes that
ship with the board?

Someday we should have a compatibility option in the kernel that activates
code to read every other arch's disklabels. Grr.
