This doesn't work since there's a chicken/egg problem. /boot/boot1 and /boot/boot2 do not exist until an 'installworld'. However, the very first stage of 'make buildworld' needs it when it builds src/lib so it falls over unless they already exist. And even then, a new buildworld uses the stale bootblocks from the last buildworld session. I don't know exactly what libdisk is used for so I can't suggest an alternative. Are these the only bootblock source for libdisk? Or just a default if /boot/boot* doesn't exist (like when running from sysinstall?)
