Can't find boot code for R80

I'm in the process of recovering from a trashed / and /usr on our R80 (rb80)
disk. We are running 4.3BSD (from Mt. Xinu) on a VAX 11/730 (yes there are
still some around!). The disk has been reformatted, and I am attempting to
newfs the root partition.
Problem: newfs want's to use /usr/mdec/{rbboot,bootrb} to install in sectors
0-15 of the drive, but these files are not there. I have checked old dump
tapes, and the source distribution, and still cannot find boot code specific
to the rb80. I suppose the boot program for the RL02 (same controller - idc)
could be hacked to work for the R80, but I would rather not have to deal with
that. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Please e-mail, as I will not be taking the time to read news until this
machine is up.
Thanks in advance for any help.
