There should be sources and a standalone installation program (probably
DOS-based) for boot manager(s) somewhere in the distribution.  On the
2.0R cdrom they are in tools/dos-tools (bteasy and os-bs).

	mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /where-you-want-it

Then put it in /etc/fstab if it works.

You shouldn't need to touch wd0 using sysinstall; however if sysinstall
is confused by the existing partition table then maybe the kernel will be
too.
