This may seem a little odd, but I had this problem when I had something
mounted on /mnt.

}all ===> ramdisk-big
}rm -f ramdisk-big.fs.tmp
}dd if=/dev/zero of=ramdisk-big.fs.tmp count=4096

}I did 'make obj; make build; cd etc; make DESTDIR=/destdir RELEASEDIR=/release
}	UPDATE=1 release' on 1.5 box with GENERIC kernel, /usr/src has 
}	checkout of src module -rnetbsd-1-5
}
}My /etc/mk.conf looks like:
}	BSDSRCDIR=/usr/src
}	BSDOBJDIR=/usr/obj
}	BUILD=1
}	UPDATE=1
}
}Hints would be appreciated.
