- i am not sure what you meen by disklabel is missing? anyway, the way i got
- around the reboot loop was to remove the badsect flag from the disklabel,
- using `disklabel -r -e wd0', or better yet, remove the :sf field from
- the disktab entry. I do not know if this is the proper thing to
- do but, it is all i could come up with.

- you must boot from the fixit floppy and create your own disktab entry
- to create *real* partitioning. The process can be found in the FAQ,
- from your favorite ftp site.
