The original question:

The resolution:
First of all, most people don't have problems with installboot. You
have to do things just right in order to make it fail. Daniel Trinkle
came up with the answer that makes the most sense to me:
> If you have relabeled the disk for any reason (reformatted,
> repartitioned, relabeled), you must reboot the system before this
> command will work. The disk label information is read once at boot
> time. Relabeling does not update the necessary information in the
> kernel to enable you to do installboot.
