Greetings,

	I'm attempting to cross-build a NetBSD/sparce -current
release on my 1.5/i386 system.  Many of the recent attempts have
failed while trying to install the boot loader on the miniroot.

Is anyone else seeing this?  (I guess I need to send-pr, either
way..)

The command line:

	./build.sh -a sparc -m sparc -T $cwd/../tools/ \
		-D /netboot/sparc \
		-O $cwd/../obj.sparc \
		-R /work/release/sparc

The Build log:

	===> DESTDIR path: /netboot/sparc
	===> TOOLDIR path: /scratch/eric/NetBSD-current/src/../tools/
