I did this build today from a checkout yesterday:
Matthews-Apple:~/Documents/netbsd msporleder$ ./nbinstallboot -e -o
console=3Dcom0 -o speed=3D9600 -m i386 ./pxeboot_ia32.bin
nbinstallboot: Invalid magic in stage1 boostrap
nbinstallboot: Edit bootstrap operation failed

--
Still says boostrap.  ;)
Also, can you give me some hints on where to look for the whong magic
piece?  Hexdump-ing the file shows this at the beginning:

0000000 eb7e 89f6 d3b6 8678 7800 0000 0000 0000
0000010 0500 0000 0000 0000 8025 0000 0000 0000
0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*

but I think installboot must be using its own type of magic
calculations for that specific-type of file.
