System: NetBSD mildred 0.9 MILDRED#4 i386

Machine: i386

>Description:
	
The 'make install' step copies the boot block images to the target
directory /usr/mdec. If the directory does not exist, the operation
fails.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
I am building a version of NetBSD-current in an empty chrooted directory.
This directory, which is normally created by the system
installation disks, was not present (of course).

The sequence of activities I followed went like this:
Make an empty directory.
Copy/move the /usr/src branch into it.
Chroot into it.
From another session, copy enough essential executables to allow
compilation and installation of the sources.
At /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/boot, 'make install' fails.

This problem can also occur if $DESTDIR is set.
