Floppyless release build of sparc64
A similar change would be in order for sparc64. Patch is
attached, please review. The net effect is that we save
huge CPU times in release.9 and do not create the useless
boot.flp floppy image (the sparc64/mkisoimages.sh script
doesn't need it).

boot.flp is actually useful on sparc64 because you can dd it to a disk
from solaris and then boot off it to install. I'm happy with having
the option of not building it if it saves time but please make it an
option.
