Also, on page 104, step 9, the procedure for installing the boot block is
wrong.  The example is be

   # installboot /boot bootsd /dev/sd0a

It's wrong two different ways:

   1) The /boot is misleading in the context of the examples.  It should be
      /mnt/boot because /dev/sd0a is mounted on /mnt.

   2) installboot only works with raw devices.  It should use /dev/rsd0a.

The way the installboot example should read is:

   # installboot /mnt/boot bootsd /dev/rsd0a
