3cf69f27e2 Add "live-image" and "install-image" target support to build.sh.
"live-image" target builds pre-installed disk images that can be used on
emulators or boot from USB memory sticks to try NetBSD without installation.
Currently amd64, i386, pmax, sparc, sparc64, sun2, sun3, and vax
(which have working emulators and don't require extra tools like preparing
 msdosfs or partitioning MD label structures) support this target.

"install-image" target builds an bootable installation disk image that can
be used as an install CD but burned into USB memory sticks etc.
Current only amd64 and i386 (which would support USB boot) have this target.

For more details (and known issue) see following posts on netbsd-bugs@:

No particular comments about implementation, and
"go ahead" comments from mrg@, riz@ and christos@.

Closes PR toolchain/45153 and PR misc/45155.

fee07bcfd4 Add an iso_image target (iso-image as a target name doesn't play well with
bsd.subdirs.mk) in distrib/makefile, which builds an iso image for $MACHINE
with binary sets, stored in ${RELEASEDIR}/iso. The image is bootable for:
alpha, amd64, cats, i386, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64, sun3, vax.
mac68k/macppc no there yet because of missing feature in makefs.

call iso_image in distrib/ for iso-image in the top Makefile.

875330dd7f major overhaul; convert to NDWO.
this needs to build two images and one gzipped tar file:
	- install.fs: to mdset into netbsd.INSTALL
	- inst.tgz: contents of install.fs
	- miniroot.fs: install.fs + gzipped GENERIC kernel.  created using a
	  copy of the crunched ramdiskbin built for install.fs
share much of the miniroot.fs build goop from ../instfs/*
