Part of the problem may be that installboot needs to know where (on the
partition that you are booting from) is /boot located.  Thus if you want
to boot from say xd6a and while you are fixing up xd6a you have it mounted
on /mnt you will have to do an "installboot -vlt /mnt/boot bootxd
/dev/rxd6a.  I use the -vlt option because I like to see the numbers and
testmessages printed out, it is not really necessary.
