Could you please post more info?

- What version did you try? (3.0 release or -current HEAD?)
- Did you edit partition on sysinst menu?
- Could you show disklabel output?
- Did the error happen during sysinst?
  Or did you try disklabel -B manually?
  If so, was partition a mounted at that time?

Last time I tried install 3.0 on my hp425t
(when I noticed bootloader botch on fb console),
bootloader was installed properly.

In -current, hp300 MD part of sysinst has been modified to
create an independent FS_BOOT partition to avoid confusion.
(i.e. partition c should be a raw partition)
