DESCRIPTION
     The boot(1M) program is loaded from disk by  bootblock  code
     which  resides in the appropriate boot area of a disk parti-
     tion.  bootblk is the name of the bootblock code.  raw-disk-
     device  is  the name of the disk device onto which the boot-
     block code is to be installed; it must be a character device
     which  is  readable  and writable.  Naming conventions for a
     SCSI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.

SPARC EXAMPLES
     The ufs bootblock is in /usr/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk.  To install
     the bootblock on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1, use:

     example# /usr/sbin/installboot /usr/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk \
          /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

x86 EXAMPLES
     The ufs bootblock is in /usr/lib/fs/ufs/pboot.   To  install
     the bootblock on slice 2 of target 0 on controller 1, use:

     example# /usr/sbin/installboot /usr/lib/fs/ufs/pboot \
          /usr/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2
