I don't know what's at fault, but I did find one place in the boot
floppy build process on i386 were disklabel blew up. I managed to find
another more reliable way to invoke disklabel though so it was no big
deal.
(Someone should remind me to send-pr my changes to the boot-floopy build
makefiles so that one can now do an entire "make release" in a clean
tree from start to end and not have to do anything manually.... I'll
try and remember to do it right after I finish building the next
snapshot from my next merge, but if they don't show up in a week or so
then I may need a reminder....)
