picobsd and freebsd 5.3

[Yuri Kurenkov]

Thanx, Luigi, for your development. You script modified for using makefs 
works with RELENG_4 and RELENG_5 and help to me migrate my CF versions from 
RELENG_4 to RELENG_5. But i take one small trouble: I can't build 1400K 
floppy images - makefs say me:

----8<------8<------8<------
`getarptab.o' is up to date.
makefs: `/usr/src/release/picobsd/build/build_dir-tinet/mfs.tree' size of 
2359296 is larger than the maxsize of 2355200.
----8<------8<------8<------

But native RELENG_4 `picobsd' build scrip make picobsd.bin with this config 
set succesfully. Can you help with this trouble? I'm wating for Your 
solutions :)
