>Description:
Cross building a sparc release on an i386 system fails while creating the
floppy disk images because there are no cross tools for writing bootblocks:

Inspecting "/dev/vnd0c on /mnt type ffs (asynchronous, local)"

Target: /mnt/boot

/export/scratch/dest/usr/mdec/installboot: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Stop.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/src
./build.sh -m sparc -o -D /export/scratch/dest -R /scratch/netbsd/sparc -T /src/tools
