Here's a pretty naiive question:
I installed boot1 and boot2 using the above command. In my case, it
was disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 /dev/rwd0s3
Prior to this I was using an older version of the bootblocks (circa
Oct 1) that loaded /boot/loader.
However, everything still looks the same. I still get a boot: prompt
(with the help screen above it). Is there any 
way to find out whether the new boot stages were installed? What
should I be seeing with the new boot blocks?

[Part of the reason I'm asking this is that I boot FreeBSD using the
NT loader, and I'm not entirely certain whether I need to update the 
NT loader in order to get the new boot blocks running.]
