Hi,
	I want to change some items in the bootstrap
code most importantly the delay time for automatic
bootup. I duly went to /sys/i386/boot/biosboot
and modified the Makefile to change 5000 to 15000
did:

make clean
make all
make install

thwn I tried to update the bootdtrap code
with:

disklabel -B sd0

and promptly got a warning that

Warning, revolutions/minute 0
super block size 0

and the bootstrap code remains unchanged.

Any ideaas ???

thanks, Jon
