Greetings:
        I'm replacing an aging root disk on one of our alpha servers
(164LX 4.0f). I made the partions and replicated the contents on the
new disk (and changed fstab file to reflect the the new disk device
names).
        
        I'm planning to put the new disk in, change the boot device
to the new disk in SRM, and boot up. On sun systems that I'm familiar
with, you need to install a boot block on the disk to make it bootable.

I'm wondering if there is an equivalent utility on the digital unix
side.
