That was the bogus pathname that I mentioned. I guess it should be
${.CURDIR}/../../../lib/libstand or something like that. I'll work on the
bootstrap makefiles tomorrow.

I have the up to date sio ready to go but I'm still waiting for the
repository copy. I also have the root disk detection magic written and
that can go in tomorrow after a little more testing. The ncr patch is so

that lot, we should be up to date.
