I tried to delete RB_SINGLE in md_root.c, it didn't work.
I tried to delete the option -DLETS_GET_SMALL. I'm buiding the whole src
tree now expecting getting into multi-user mode.

Thank you for your concern.
I also don't want such a large memory disk. I only want to execute
"standalone".
As you said, I'd like to the image at flash memory, sandpoint has 1M flash,
it's not sufficint I guess?
We made our board with 16M flash to save image with kernel.
compile/RAMDISK/netbsd + distrib/sandpoint/floppies/ramdisk/ramdisk.fs works
well on your system?
What should I modify or add to execute "standalone" on  20020224 tar_files?
