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.
