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.
