That's quite a lot, I'd say. I'm impressed.

Sorry. Of course there is:
  # cd /usr/mdec
  # /usr/sbin/installboot -v -t ffs /dev/rld0a bootxx /boot
  File system:         /dev/rld0a
  File system type:    ffs (blocksize 8192, needswap 0)
  Primary bootstrap:   bootxx
  Secondary bootstrap: /boot
  Bootstrap start sector: 4
  Bootstrap byte count:   1764
  Bootstrap block table:  118 entries of 8192 bytes available, 8 used: 30592 30608 30625 30640 30656 30672 30688 13278
  Writing bootstrap
  # reboot

I hope this helps you helping me.

I've been wondering, if the problem is caused by the fact, that I'm running it from the CD.
