   Hey there.  I am crossbuilding on a sparc64 running Solaris 10,
and when building for i386, the make release ran to completion.
I then tried to use the Makefile in src/etc to build "iso-image".
mkisofs complained:

mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 
'i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs' !

   Upon some research, it looks like it's basing the filesystem
in i386, so that path (as an argument to the -b option of mkisofs)
should be "installation/floppy/boot-big.fs".  I made that change
in my src/etc/etc.i386/Makefile.inc, and it now builds the ISO.

   Is this a bug that should be fixed, or an oddity because I'm
building on a Solaris system?  I can't figure out how it would
ever be the way the makefile is written...
