If your /private/etc/disktab is not identical to the stock 2.0 disktab,
then the Double-Click Me script that you run at the beginning of the 2.1
update moves it aside to /private/etc/disktab_that_you_customized before
the new disktab is installed. This is also true for all disktabs in
/clients/* netboot directories. The disktab in /usr/template/client/etc
is not moved aside, but it is used only when you create new netboot clients.
