Well... I copied the new(er) versions of the loader from my
workstation to /boot on the laptop and then "disklabel -B wd0" on the
laptop. Is there some other (non-obvious) step required?
I might take this momment to say (as someone who is constantly getting
new disks) that throwing /stand/sysinstall's disk label and fdisk
editor into the regular tree would be a nice start. Every time I've
ever used /stand/sysinstall to work on a disk, it has insisted on
newfs'ing it for me and/or crashnig the machnie.
