Perhaps the "Illegal instruction" error is misleading. This looks
very similar the error that once occurred on i386-1.3.3,
<http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=6211>,
where the floating point thing would not apply.  IIRC, the solution
there was to increase the number of inodes on the install disk by
adding an "-i ${INO_BYTES}" to the "newfs" command line for making
the ramdisk, but, unfortunately, that solution is not documented
--the bug's still open.

I'm going to cc this to port-amiga; maybe there's someone
there who can experiment with building a working miniroot for you,
or suggest alternatives.
