There are several listed, but i was thinking of:
Fixit# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 bootdevice
substituting bootdevice for your real boot device such as ad0 (first
IDE disk), ad4 (first IDE disk on auxiliary controller), da0 (first
SCSI disk), etc.
in particular.

No, that's the solution to a different problem.

Section 3, "Installation", includes the question
