Ah, so that's what it is.  I used to dd a Jax disk with a "virgin" win95
install off to my hard drive, then dd it back on, so I could start with a
fresh copy of win95.

Used to work like a champ, but since I updated to -current on 1/10,
it locks my whole system up when I dd it out.

Thought I was going crazy.
