Ahh, I think I see what I might have missed.... I did the disklabel,
but may not have put the right boot in /boot.  It could have been 
the old /boot, although I would have thought that when the tarball
was unrolled (tar -xpzf base.tgz), that should have put he right
boot in /boot.  I think I looked at the file sizes and they were
the same, but I don't think I did a cmp on them or forcefully put
/usr/mdec/boot in /boot.

Ill try it again.... and doublecheck the boot files.

Thanks
