Aren't they in current as:
13 [11:03pm dene]:/sys/arch/pmax/stand>ls
Makefile conf.c dec_exec.h dec_prom.h mkboot.c
rz.c boot.c dec_boot.h dec_label.c libsa
mkboottape.c start.S
rzboot and bootrz are made in this directory. To test it out, make
backups of /usr/mdec files, build the ones above, and move them into
/usr/mdec. Then run disklabel to install.
