well, I wonder if other people have noticed this also, but if you don't
have a previous boot loader installed (like windows/dos) the ONLY way
to install onto a machine is TO use a dangerously dedicated mode...

I did a couple installs using normal slices and standard MBR, and when
the machine restarted, I got the "Operating System Missing" error...
the only way I was able to install on the system was to use dangerous
dedicated mode...  I've seen this happen a couple times w/ 3.0-R and
3.1-19990328-STABLE IIRC...
