to install boot,
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/pboot \
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk <raw device>

where <raw device> is,yeah, something like: /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2
where, c1 means controller #1, or host adapter #1
       t1 means id #1

but the above raw device is for SCSI device...

Hi Alan,

This will sound dumb, but how do I access /usr/sbin from openboot?  When I type 
the line that you gave me I get:

ok /usr/sbin/installboot?
ok

Also, is it ok to use the openboot device alias (eg: disk0) in the <raw-device> 
section of that command?

Thanks,
Brian
