NetBSD ataritt 5.1.1 NetBSD 5.1.1 (ATARITT) #0: Wed Jan  4 20:28:06 UTC 2012  builds@b8.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-1-1-RELEASE/atari/201201040549Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-1-1-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/atari/compile/ATARITT atari
>Description:
When using the installer to install to an AHDI parition, the installer still proceeds to install the bootblocks using the command....

Status: Running
Command: /usr/mdec/installboot -v /dev/rsd0c

-----------------------------------------------------
installboot: Cannot stat /netbsd, no bootversion check done
installboot: /dev/rsd0c: NetBSD boot block not on primary AHDI partition.


The installer should not install bootblocks when using AHDI partitions.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install on an AHDI partition.
>Fix:
So, I moved /usr/mdec/installboot out of the way and created a new one
which just had "#!/bin/sh" inside it so it becomes a no-op command. This
works, and I'm allowed to continue the installation.
