hi folks.


i've recently commited changes to allow the sparc64 port to have
a release built fully from cross compilation environment (ie, the
new build.sh.)  the miniroot.fs doesn't have a disklabel but it
doesn't appear to ever need one.  one will be appearing again
soon, using sunlabel.

i've investigated making this also work for sparc, but there is
a stumbling block.  installboot wants the path of /filesystem/boot
so it can get block numbers to load...  this is a problem for
working on a bare filesystem image.  i think i've convinced
installboot to cope with the image, but it still wants the /boot
so it can stat it to get it's inode, to look up it's blocks.

i think the easiest way around this is to remove the need for
the hard coded set of bootblocks and manage loading /boot by
name like the alpha & pmax do (both who have typically much
larger object code than sparc :-).  anyone want to work on this? :-)
