: First of all:  sparc64 does not support RAMDISKs at the moment so
   	: you need either a miniroot or real filesystem.
   
   	Then what was the ramdisk.fs.gz that I have been using to create bootable
   	CD-ROMs of 1.5!?!?
   
   That's actually a miniroot.  If you try to boot with that as a 
   ramdisk it won't work.


sigh.  i knew i should have done something else.


it's not called "miniroot" because doing that implies using the MI-miniroot.
eg, src/distrib/Makefile checks for ./$MACHINE/miniroot.  so i choose ramdisk.
probably it should be called xminiroot and install a "miniroot.fs".
