This, I think is an important question to ISPs and anyone else
heavily using FreeBSD. When I needed to do this on SunOS4.1.x, 
I just booted off CD or as a diskless client, mounted /usr
and ran "installboot" with the appropriate args. Worked like
a champ. I have yet to find a parallel to this for FreeBSD.
But then, on SunOS we didn't have any possibly tricky boot managers
to consider. Anyone know the magic incantation, assuming one exitst?
