yes, that section is wrong, but your correction is wrong and incomplete. The whole point of the rework of installboot was to de-platform-specific it, and to have sane defaults, thus the "new" syntax will be just "installboot sd0", and (current) installboot is not in /usr/mdec anymore. I got to think about this...I'm not sure there's even any merit to this section anymore. Proper answer might be "delete it". Nick.
