Apparently, On Mon, Nov 04, 2002 at 08:28:10AM +1100, Peter Jeremy said words to the effect of; > I have a fast x86 machine and a slow Alpha so I'd like to be able to > do the Alpha buildworlds on the x86 and then install via NFS. > > make TARGET_ARCH=alpha buildworld > works, and I can successfully mount /usr/src (actually /home/src4) > and /usr/obj/alpha (actually /home/obj/alpha) onto the Alpha.

The only way I've found to do this is to nfs mount the filesystems of the target machine on the build machine and do the installworld with DESTDIR=/path/to/nfs/mount. ie: make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 mount sparc64:/ /mnt (etc) make installworld TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 DESTDIR=/mnt You really don't want to forget to set DESTDIR when doing this.
