boot block on new root partition

Hope you can help me out again...

I'd like to know how to install a boot block on a
newly created advfs root partition. On a Sun machine
I'd use the "installboot" command, but this doesn't
seem to exist on DEC UNIX.

I'm in this situation because I've just tar'd a
ufs root partition to an advfs root partition, but
can't successfully boot from the latter (I assume
because there's no boot block installed - I hope
that's the only problem).

Thanks --
