Ick; that is broken.

It should use something like this:
	RAMDISKDIR!=    cd ${.CURDIR}/../ramdisk && ${PRINTOBJDIR}
	#   [...]
	${MDSETIMAGE} tmp/BtNetBSD/InstKern ${RAMDISKDIR}/ramdisk.fs

Could you please send-pr this, so it doesn't get lost?

Actually, there's other elements of that Makefile that look really ugly.
(Looks like I need to do another sweep of distrib/* fixing things up)


Thanks for bringing this to our attention,
Luke.
