Hi,

is building a bootable ISO image for -current NetBSD/sparc64 on a
-current NetBSD/i386 system supposed to work? I just tried and failed:

$ uname -srm
NetBSD 4.99.4 i386
$ cd /usr/src
$ ./build.sh -U -m sparc64 -x [...] distribution
[...]
===> Successful make distribution
[...]

So far so good. But then I noticed that no kernels were built. AFAICT
these two should have been built:

$ /opt/tools/sparc64/bin/nbmake-sparc64 -V '$(ALL_KERNELS)'
GENERIC  INSTALL

After this I ran the iso-image target:

$ ./build.sh -m sparc64 [...] iso-image
[...]
===> Updated /opt/tools/sparc64/bin/nbmake-sparc64
iso-image ===> etc
rm -f /build/nbsd/sparc64/etc/cdrom.pathlist
echo "sparc64=/opt/rel/sparc64" >> /build/nbsd/sparc64/etc/cdrom.pathlist
mkdir -p /build/nbsd/sparc64/etc/cdrom.dir
mkdir -p /opt/rel/sparc64/installation/cdrom
mkisofs 2.01 (i386-unknown-netbsd4.99.4)

Hmm... I didn't trace the problem further so far, but couldn't find
any references to it in the mailing list archive. Is this a known
problem? According to the [1]FAQ (which seems to be a little outdated)
the iso-image target should work...


Help is appreciated!

TIA, Jukka
