df /                    # to find out what your root disk is)
shutdown now            # to single user mode)
/usr/mdec/installboot /usr/mdec/xxboot /dev/rWHATYOURROOTDISKIS

oh yes, and you need to use some rdb editing tools to set your root partition
to:

- bootable
- 16 boot blocks

The latter is missing from the boot(8) man page; I guess I should add it in so
that it will be there in 1.4.
