That is embarrassing... I thought I had the realmode boot block but I
was wrong. I had a screwed-up bsdlabel from sysinstall at some
point. When I did 'bsdlabel -B', it failed to install the boot block
at all but I ignored the error message, I guess. :-(
The bright side of this embarrassment is now I have warning-free
bsdlabels on all partitions. ;-)
Sorry for the noise.
