>Description:
I had a 1.6.2 machine; I upgraded to -current of 21 March,
using an install CD I built myself, per the usual instructions.
I took the default choice when it asked about updating the boot
stuff.
>How-To-Repeat:
I don't know if it is reproducible...
>Fix:
Run 'installboot -v /dev/rsd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffvs1
