Dear NetBSD/i386:

I want to make an image on a NetBSD/i386 machine for a CD which will boot
an Alpha, so I need to build the NetBSD/alpha version of installboot.  I've
extracted these two files

    usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/installboot/Makefile
    usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/installboot/installboot.c

from syssrc.tgz into an empty directory and run make.  The result was this
error message:

    Makefile:5: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I presume I'm making a silly mistake.  Could someone put me on the right
track, please?
