Right. I guess I was considering the time scale of when to do
this -- see the other comments I made to Jonathan.

Well, the ramdisk/list file in the sources I built from contains
# we need the boot block in /usr/mdec + the MBR copy
COPY ${DESTDIR}/usr/mdec/biosboot.sym usr/mdec/biosboot.sym
COPY ${DESTDIR}/usr/mdec/mbr usr/mdec/mbr
and I remember committing a fix to add that. I've even rebooted
the INSTALL diskette and verified that it's there now.
