I'd love to get the install floppy out of there. The build
system for the floppy doesn't currently deal with building outside of
the source directory (though a symlink farm would work).
The union mount isn't great, but since it's referring to what
really ought to be a static source tree it's not terrible. I suppose
it's only ~5M of sources.
I'm not worried about the NetBSD-specific bit of union mounts,
since the script is already using crunch and mdsetimage and vfs
mounts. It doesn't interact with the afsd/librx source code; my
compromise here was to install afsd.o as one of the "sources" that
things get built from; the libraries come from /usr/afsws on the srvd.
Do we want the install floppy to be part of the release?
