Make sure you get the boot and rootdisks that I just uploaded. I would
have done that last night, but our rsync server was shut down in a power
outage and no one at the office remembered to turn it back on.

The big new thing in the current rootdisks is that setup now supports BSD
disklabels, which means it's so much easier to install if that's how your
drive is set up. There may still be some bugs, though. But it's a very
good start.

You might also find out if my cdrecord build is bad or not. I don't know,
since I only got to test it once right before leaving town. It was not a
very good test.
