Ok, that's why it didn't work when I tried on the Sparc. I was able to mount
the miniroot on a FreeBSD box (Intel is little indian), but the kernel is too
big to fit on the miniroot, I would have to increase the miniroot size. Is it
just a plain old filesystem with "boot.pmax" and the kernel on it or does it
need some special boot block magic? Otherwise I can just create an empty file,
vnconfig it, disklabel it and mount it and copy the boot.pmax and your kernel
to it and I should have a bigger miniroot.
