I see from the boot process that this should fix it...
# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad4
but...
how do I get this onto the right disk? If I boot from ad4 or ad12 and
change the mbr, then it will be the ad12 that will be booting from ad4
and vice versa... or have I got it wrong? But in the end, I suppose it
really doesn't matter, or does it?
