I can't look at the exact file as cvs is unreachable at the moment, but I
believe what needed fixing was the newfs line. After 1.3 (I think that was
when), I went through and added explicit -B be or -B le to the newfs's in
all of these files. That way irregardless of the host used to make the ram
disk, the right endianness is used.

It was an effort to get closer to being able to make install media on any
machine. :-)

Take care,
