  Modified files:
    nrelease/root        README 
  Log:
  Add a 'dd' prior to the first fdisk to cover situations where people are
  uprading from very old or extended boot blocks which might not otherwise
  be completely wiped by fdisk, boot0cfg, and disklabel.  Old left over cruft
  often causes systems to panic with a BTX fault, usually due to bad
  track/cylinder specifications in the boot sector which cause an overflow
  (and often a divide by 0) fault in the BIOS.
