Vague example, do not copy paste.. you risk all your drives.. read the manuals.
$ sudo fdisk -e /dev/rsd?c
[...]
$ sudo disklabel -E /dev/rsd?c
[...]
$ sudo newfs /dev/rsd?a
$ sudo mount /dev/sd?a /mnt
$ sudo cp /boot /mnt; sudo cp /bsd.rd /mnt/bsd
This would be a good time to make a directory on the device for the installations sets, kernels and perhaps a few packages.
Finally,
$ sudo /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot /dev/rsd?c
