Weird, the mail got cut off. Continuing from here I put the
data on the disk, and then executed the commands:

# mount /dev/wd1a /mnt
# cp /usr/mdec/boot /mnt
# umount /mnt
# installboot -o console=com0 -o speed=38400 /dev/rwd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

When I try to boot on that disk after moving it to the master position
(now wd0), nothing comes across on the serial console, and if I hook up
the monitor to the video card, all I get is "NetBSD MBR boot    Error
No NetBSD partition".
