Re: Failure to build release for sparc64

[Eduardo Horvath <eeh%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

My guess is that the additional filesystem support added to ofwboot 
increased its size just enough to fall off the end of the filesystem.  
This can be fixed in two ways:

Increase the size of the filesystem image.

Build an ofwboot that only has UFS-1 filesystem support.

I'm not sure which is best.  Both solutions have their downsides.  

For the time being I'd recommend going to the older version of 
src/sys/arch/sparc/stand/ofwboot unless you need the ufs2 or lfs support.
