Hi, you just gave me a hint on what may be missing in my setup. I think
I forgot to run MAKEDEV when configuring the system image last time. I
will check tomorrow.

This is T5220 but I extract and configure sparc64 image by hand on amd64
system where I build all the binaries. I also discovered that "mount -o
log" option fails to work properly on amd64 with a big-endian byte
order (it complains about incorrect superblock or something), however
without this option I can mount a big-endian filesystem and copy files.
