(1) is there a searchable index of the netbsd mailing lists anywhere?
i'd like to search for the steps involved in adding a new system call
to my kernel...

(2) now that i've figured it out, is there anything about this on the
netbsd website anywhere?  something detailing the steps involved so
that one doesn't have to experience the low-level panic i did at
installing a non-functioning libc.so on a machine three miles away
while i was ssh'ed in.  (i managed to find a working one, but i was a
little anxious for a few minutes there :).  if not...perhaps i could
write a little something and get it posted?
