The disk tree walk is irrelevant if you're not booting from softraid. The walk is done to read softraid meta data from all disks and construct volumes. If you're booting from a single disk then the kernel is read directly from disk by open firmware. > Also, is it necessary to run installboot(8) manually after install or is > that handled automatically by the install script? It's handled automatically.
