System: NetBSD lyssa.zhadum.de 1.5Z NetBSD 1.5Z (LYSSA) #0: Mon Dec 17 17:56:13 CET 2001 tron@lyssa.zhadum.de:/src/sys/compile/LYSSA i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386

>Description:
Cross building a sparc release on an i386 system fails while creating the
floppy disk images because there are no cross tools for writing bootblocks:

Inspecting "/dev/vnd0c on /mnt type ffs (asynchronous, local)"
Boot device: /src/NetBSD-current/src/distrib/miniroot/miniroot.fs
Target: /mnt/boot
2021+1 records in

/export/scratch/dest/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /export/scratch/dest/usr/mdec/bootxx /src/NetBSD-current/src/distrib/miniroot/miniroot.fs
/export/scratch/dest/usr/mdec/installboot: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
*** Error code 2

Stop.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/src
./build.sh -m sparc -o -D /export/scratch/dest -R /scratch/netbsd/sparc -T /src/tools
