Hello,

the new installboot(8) wipes the disk label on a 4k-byte/sector drive - a valid disk label becomes binary zeros after
/usr/sbin/installboot -r /mnt sd4

To be more precise, the "boot sector" (the first 512 bytes) gets installed, but the disk label (the next 512 bytes) is overwritten with zeros.

David
