Install on octeon correctly copies /bsd to the MSDOS filesystem
where the manufacturer's boot program finds it
It appears that syspatch doesn't. If so, fixing this is important
because as it stands security patches won't actually be installed
in running systems.
This is an * untested * * conceptual * patch. My only octeon
system is my firewall. Another can be purchased if consensus is
that this should be tested here.
I haven't looked for update-link yet
