I tried to build sun3 RAMDISK kernels, but there were
some problems in src/distrib/sun3:

- The definitions of ramdisk are inconsistent among etc/disktab,
  sun3/config/RAMDISK{,3X} and distrib/ramdisk/Makefile.
- ramdisk/Makefile uses /dev/sd1b implicitely to make ramdisk image.
  (vnd should be used here.)
- ramdisk/Makefile uses home-grown rdsetroot, not MI mdsetimage.
  (I guess mdsetimage is based on rdsetroot, though.)

How was the latest snapshot built? Is anyone working to fix these?
