Hi !

How can I make an existing disk with advfs filesystems (including
\, \usr \var) bootable without having to repartition it ? Right now I
get the error message

block 0 of dka100.1.0.109.0 is not a valid boot block
bootstrap failure

Just editing and writing the label (disklabel -re -t advfs <disk>) does
not work.

I probably can use disklabel -wr <disk> <disktype>, but neither is the
partitioning scheme listed in /etc/disktypes, nor do I want to erase all
the data to repartition the disk.
