	This isn't an actual solution to the problem, but it's
at least a pointer.  The scripts that you need are on the install
disk, I believe.  You'll probably just need to mount that disk 
and get those scripts.  Like I said, this isn't a very precise
answer, but this information I got (once upon a time) from the
*BSD FAQ, which can be found at:

http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gendalia/FAQ/FAQ.list.html

	The reason I'm sending a reply to this is to advertise
the fact that this FAQ is out there.  I don't know how many people
are aware of it.  One of the sections of the FAQ had the solution
to your problem.
