I successfully installed 1.5 to an external USB disk drive but during

bootblock  of my internal disk.  I thought I was careful to select 
/dev/da0 not  /dev/ad0,
but who knows?  I recovered the partitions with gpart, but WinXP still  
doesn't boot successfully. :-(

If I'm feeling masochistic, I could try the install again, and see if 
the  bsdinstaller did it.
Please do if you get a chance.   If there is a bug in this area of BSD 
Installer we really need to fix it.

Thanks,
