BSD Disk labels

[Falk Hueffner <falk.hueffner@student.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Hi,

the Debian installation manual says:

"Another conventional requirement is for the `a' partition to start
from the beginning of the disk, so that it always includes the boot
block with the disk label."

I'm not sure about this paragraph.  If I start it from the very
beginning of the disk, I'd destroy the partition table when putting a
file system on it. Also, it'd conflict with aboot. Is this supposed to
be a dummy entry? If so, we should clarify it, and add a size
suggestion (say, 5mb).
