I finished the install on this disk, but the label is blown away every time
the machine is booted (Compaq deskpro 386DX20).  I can boot from diskette(s)
and write the label manually, mount the root and usr partitions, etc.  The
boot process does complain with a message like "Can't handle 256 heads - reset
to controller 15" or something close to that.  Am I missing something?
