Thanks for your reply Bob.

I thought it would be possible to:

# cd /usr/src/distrib/cdrom/macppc_installboot
# make all

but the result was:

make: "/usr/src/tools/Makefile" line 5: Malformed conditional 
(${TOOLCHAIN_MISSING} != "yes")
make: "/usr/src/tools/Makefile" line 9: if-less endif
make: "/usr/src/tools/Makefile" line 9: Need an operator
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
make: "/usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk" line 92: warning: "cd /usr/src/tools 
&& make -V .OBJDIR" returned non-zero status
make: stopped in

-Werror  -I/usr/src/sys/arch -nostdinc -isystem /usr/include  -c 
macppc_installboot.c
make:: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/src/distrib/cdrom/macppc_installboot

This was with 1.6Q sources from ~ 27 March 2003.  Am I guilty of 
blundering in and doing something silly, or should this have worked?
