I did

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/sparc TARGET=sparc64 TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 make
__MAKE_CONF=/dev/null makeworld

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/sparc TARGET=sparc64 TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 make
__MAKE_CONF=/dev/null installworld DESTDIR=/usr/ultra

same for buildkernel and installkernel

to make a diskless boot world for my ULTRA1. This seems to work, except,
that the resulting world has some problems like /bin/ls dumping core.
I don't know whether this was a pilot error or there is something wrong
with cross compilation
