Hi.

How do I make a disk bootable?

installboot says:
# ./installboot boot /dev/rsd0c
installboot: no PReP partition.: Undefined error: 0
installboot: load_prep_partition: Undefined error: 0

Do I need a special boot partition or is there an other way? 
(I know about that partition as the penguin wants to be booted that way.
But I am happy to got rid of the penguin, as I don't like penguins. ;-) 
)

If a special boot partition is the only way: Why didn't sysinstall
create it?
