FWIW, a friend of mine just installed 1.0 on a pentop i486, and it appears
that he had to disklabel -B every time he did any editing or writing to
the disklabel. AFAIK, you shouldn't have to do this when -e{diting}, but
it got his system up. I've been meaning to file this as a bug report of
some kind. I believe it's reproducible, since it bit him twice :)
This is with a IDE drive, fwiw.
