The Debian installer uses cfdisk, which can't do BSD labels, so it starts
fdisk and you manually do it. I'm thinking I goofed up the partitioning,
even though it does start on cylinder 2. Since this isn't actually doing
anything yet, I may start over with the Compaq Jumpstart CD and let it do
the partitioning for me...
