	The intention was to have m4 based master files for the sysinst
	ramdisk, so it could be shared across various ports. Initially
	I started with sparc, but did not have enough time to finish
	merging in other ports.

	I'm fixing up the sparc sysinst install for 1.5, maybe we
	could look at merging the sparc and sparc64 configs?
