thank you.

can I run this from a non /macppc computer ?

because I tried running it on my /xen machine and got:
----------
/home/cvs/src/tooldir.NetBSD-4.0_BETA2-i386/bin/nbinstall -d fs
make: exec(/home/cvs/src/tooldir.NetBSD-4.0_BETA2-i386/bin/nbinstall) failed (No such file or directory)
----------
so I ran a "./build.sh -N 0 -U -u tools" on that machine, then restart the "make RELEASE...macppccd" and got:
----------
Final:   offset    0, size  450, file /home/cvs/src/distrib/cdrom/multi-cd1-4.0.iso
/home/cvs/src/distrib/cdrom/macppc_installboot/macppc_installboot  /home/cvs/src/distrib/cdrom/multi-cd1-4.0.iso /home/cvs/src/distrib/cdrom/extfiles/macppc.bootxx /ofwboot
macppc_installboot: Opening primary bootstrap `/home/cvs/src/distrib/cdrom/extfiles/macppc.bootxx': No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /home/cvs/src/distrib/cdrom

TIA,
