Thanks for all those who replied to my question. The replies
suggested that I newfs the partition and this would install bootblk in
the appropriate location. Someone also suggested using dd to install
bootblk. I tried all these, along with making new kernel, tarring all
the files over to the local partition, etc., but I still get the same
error message -- "?417 btblk fmt". Someone also said that he couldn't
get this to work and even suggested that this can't be done. Does
anyone actually have this set-up running? Thanks.
