I caught the same failure on i386 and macppc cross-building.

I think that bootxx_ffs needs the size less than 7680 bytes
to write to 1.2M boot floppy first track, referring to
sys/arch/i386/stand/bootxx/Makefile.bootxx for example.

NetBSD/alpha has no 1.2M boot floppy now, maybe you can
_void_ the failure to increase checking size (like the following
patch to fit 1.4M floppy first track). I don't know it is correct
to fix for boot disks and release building.


Additionaly, the size of bootxx_cd9660 seems to be less than
7680 bytes on -current like this:

creating bootxx_cd9660 from bootxx_cd9660.sym...
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  7176 Dec 22 16:33 bootxx_cd9660
checking sizes for bootxx_cd9660/bootxx_cd9660.sym... OK
