- A few days ago I posted that I was unable to boot after minibsd
- installed itself to disk. It turns out that it wants the partition
- to be on a cylinder boundary. I was using the first partition.
- It was offset by one sector, to provide root for the master boot
- block. This isn't enough. I recreated it starting at the second
- cylinder, and it worked fine.
