If you have set up your partitioning properly (read: following the
clearly recommended best practice on the wiki), there should never,
ever be any reason to do this.  (That is why it's called a DEBUG
flag.)  The necessary and sufficient invocation is:

# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsloader -i 1 [a]daX

I have no idea how this works with MBR partitioning, but I would make
one suggestion in that regard: DON'T.  Whatever makes you think you
want to do that, think harder and find another way.
