This is because you didn't run 'make install'. All programs dump core when
the configuration file is not installed correctly. It will be corrected in
the next netboot release. Until then you should install a configuration
file in /usr/local/etc.

This problem should only occur with the misc/romcheck subdirectory. If
possible please use a 1.xx version of bash. It will be corrected in the
next netboot release as well.
