Well, I'm about 100% certain I didn't build the distrib tools right.  None
of the images booted my SS20.  I fought with it all for about 6 hours and
managed to get bin/cat from instfs.tgz and rename it to sysinst and use
that to try out an installation.

It didn't work.  Sysinst created /netbsd as a soft link to netbsd.GENERIC.
It didn't actually create a netbsd.GENERIC though.

I spent way more time than I'd've liked to, trying to get the distrib tools
to build.  On the other hand, I'd be happy to test pre-compiled stuff if
you have any other ideas for getting it to work right.

:)The following patch would fix the problem,
