Hello Devs,

I don't know how to check if the bug has been fixed.  The webpage wasn't clear on how to check.  I assume that because 3.1 is the latest version and also the version that I'm using, that the bug still exists in 3.1.  

The command I entered:
(parted) disk_set boot on                                                 



Your report should contain the version of this release (3.1)
along with the error message below, the output of

	parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print

and the following history of commands you entered.
Also include any additional information about your setup you
consider important.

Unknown disk flag, 0.

Error: The flag '(null)' is not available for pc98 disk labels.
(parted) quit                                                             
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.
