Yea.. well...

fsdb /dev/rda0s1a
cd /dev/
cd da0s1g
chown root
chgrp wheel
chmod 640
q

There... easy enough???  fsdb is not that big of a deal as long as you
stay with the basic commands of cd, ls, chown, chmod, chgrp, rm and ln.
It's the ones like uplink downlink chgen that can hose you up but good.

If it looks like a shell command, smells like a shell command and the
man page description reads like a command it behaves pretty much like
the command.
