The problem I think is that the generic kernel for the SPARCstation now
exceeds 5MB by itself.  My builds aren't done with -g; indeed, COPTS for
me gets set to -pipe. Previous to that, mk.conf was moved out of the way
to make sure there was nothing to hinder the build or the release.  I
ended up with zero- length miniroot.fs files.
