No progress, but I've uploaded my sources:
http://www.feyrer.de/Misc/landisk-miniroot2.tgz
It creates src/distrib/landisk. Run 'make' (nbmake-landisk...) in there,
possibly after baking a INSTALL kernel.

When that's done, run 'make' in src/distrib/miniroot, there should be a 
'src/distrib/miniroot/obj*/miniroot.fs'.

One thing I don't understand is the last message of the process in 
distrib/miniroot, though:

 	...
 	Populating `miniroot.fs.tmp'
 	Image `miniroot.fs.tmp' complete
 	File system:         miniroot.fs
 	File system type:    ffs (blocksize 4096, needswap 0)
 	Primary bootstrap:   /disk5/cvs/src-current/obj.landisk/destdir/usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
 	Secondary bootstrap: /boot
===>	Ignoring MBR with invalid magic in sector 0 of `miniroot.fs'

Maybe someone finds the problem there?

Looking at the miniroot.fs with "fdisk -F" it has an empty (MBR) partition 
table. No idea how to set this up properly... :-/
