Re: release bundling failed in /src/distrib

I'm not going to dig through all that and figure out what's wrong,
you are obviously not following release(8) but have added a bunch
of your own stuff and something is broken as a result.

Your /mnt partition for building the ramdisks is not working.

Why?  I don't know.  I've built probably 200,000 releases using
this procedure, but I don't have your tweaks.
