It is advisable to let pcb produce an initial, empty board. Just call pcb 
with no argument and do save-as. Use gsch2pcb to add footprints and a 
netlist to the pcb.  

The layer stack and sizes gsch2pcb puts into an initial layout are hard 
coded in the source. By contrast, pcb reads layers and sizes from a user 
editable config file.
