You could also have looked in the mailing list archives. (Remembering
that I'd answered this before, i looked there. The question has been
answered 4 times, at least.)
Anyway, here it is again:
(assuming that the disk (e.g. "sd1") you're wanting to make
bootable is {DISK} and that its root partition is mounted
on ${MNT})
cd /usr/mdec
cp boot ${MNT}
sync
sync
/usr/mdec/installboot -v ${MNT}/boot ./bootxx /dev/${DISK}c
cgd
