this is pretty easy these days;  just build the INSTALL kernel
like you would GENERIC (ie, in src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/INSTALL)
and run "make" as root in src/distrib/sparc; that will build both
boot.fs and syboot.fs.... i like the floppy image over the miniroot
in that it is independant of the booted-from media as it is all
ramdisk... and thus you can change it during installation  (ie,
re-partition and old-sunos partitioned disk :)


i say this cuz i just noticed both sparc snapshots don't have these.


should this be part of "make release" ??
