I think the question is did I perform ALL the steps listed in 
that section of the wiki page?

Just now, executing the last one, I ran into an error I did not 
see before:

--snip--

# installboot -v -o timeout=1 /dev/rsd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
File system:         /dev/rsd1a
Primary bootstrap:   /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
Boot options:        timeout 1, flags 0, speed 9600, ioaddr 0, 
console pc
installboot: Writing `/dev/rsd1a': Read-only file system
installboot: Set bootstrap operation failed

--snip--

So I think that's fairly dispositive for the claim I did not pay 
enough attention first time around.

So I am back to asking for a remedy, only the stick is 
practically empty right now, so there's no concern for ensuring 
the survival of its content.
