Currently NetBSD/sparc does not use sysinst, though I believe mrg
added all the necessary goo a while back. I have it almost working
here (just some media selection issues to track down).
I'll put up a disk as soon as I have a chance.
Even if sparc uses the script based install by default, I'd like
to see a sysinst floppy and netbsd.ram for 1.4 also..
