Almost. It's "./installboot <path to installboot on root disk> bootxx
<device node for raw partition of root disk>"

i.e. your instructions wouldn't work right for a disk with / and /usr as
seperate fs's.

The installboot program looks up the <path to installboot on root disk>,
and figures out what inode is for that file. Then it looks on <device node
for raw partition of root disk> and grovvels the block numbers off of the
fs.

For my system, it's "installboot /boot bootxx /dev/rsd0a". :-)

Take care,
