I've tried installboot and disklabel in several combinations of the
arguments and watched the contens of /dev/rsd0c and wasn't able to
install the boot successfully.
But :-)
The installboot from -current using the sdboot from -current worked
at the first try. I can boot 1.5.3 from the Quantum disk.
The primary bootstrap is rev 1.11 on both systems, dont checked for
differences in the 2nd bootstrap jet..

Who can..
That booting is really (really!) dog slow. It takes 15-20 minutes at least
where 1.5.3 is up in a minute or two or so..
Since this happens while booting from cdrom and from the net (from the same
server) I think something is running in timeouts or so..
