>Description:

Gcc 2.7.2 complains about uninitialized variable when compiling
sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot/installboot.c. Code inspection shows
that gcc is correct.

>How-To-Repeat:

Compile with gcc 2.7.2

>Fix:

I haven't analyzed the logic of the program, so this patch is probably
wrong, but at least it shows where the problem is.
