Since this issue has come up before, I went ahead and reworked the
mksunbootcd program a bit so it will build on non-netbsd systems.  The
sources are at

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/mksunbootcd/

I've added a 'configure' script so it should be as easy as

  ./configure
  make
  make install

to build the program.

It seems to work under Solaris-2.6/sparc and Linux.  Other than that its
not been thoroughly tested.

Hope this is useful.  Reports of success on other platforms are
appreciated.
