BSD equivalent of GNU parted

I use GNU (parted)set to change boot flags when doing multibooting. Alas, FreeBSD does not have GNU parted, out of the box. Is there a way to set/remove flags quickly and easily from the command line in BSD? I'm still learning all the 'unique' BSD utilities.

elf2aout

ELF2AOUT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       ELF2AOUT(1)

NAME

     elf2aout -- convert a NetBSD ELF-format executable to NetBSD a.out format

SYNOPSIS

     elf2aout elf-file aout-file

DESCRIPTION

     Reads a fully-linked ELF executable (such as a  linked kernel) and produces an equivalent a.out format executable file.

     The elf2aout utility is used to convert native NetBSD ELF binaries to a.out format, for compatibility with bootblocks and kernel-reading
     utilities like kvm(3) and kvm_mkdb(8), which currently expect an a.out format kernel.

SEE ALSO

     elf2ecoff(1), ld(1), kvm(3), a.out(5), elf(5), kvm_mkdb(8)

HISTORY

     elf2aout was originally developed for NetBSD/pmax by Ted Lemon and was first distributed with the pmax port of NetBSD 1.1.

BUGS

     elf2aout assumes there are no multiply-referenced symbols in the input ELF symbol section.  It may be necessary to link with -x to avoid such
     duplicate symbols.

     In some environments, the GNU binutils objcopy(1) utility may be a better solution than elf2aout.
