OK -- I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.  Could someone let me know 
what it is?

I want to upgrade to the latest -current.  (Well, maybe that's what's 
wrong, but we'll ignore that...)  I have a nice, shiny new CVS tree.  I 
know to use build.sh, so I built a new kernel via

	./build.sh -k kernelname

(I have OBJDIR set to /usr/obj in /etc/mk.conf).

Given the problems sometimes reported in building -current, I prefer to 
do my compilation while still running the old system, so that I can do 
other things.

	./build.sh -D /usr/netbsd

(Stand back, wait a while.)

Great; it built.  I reboot to single-user with the new kernel, and try 
to install:

	./build.sh -D /usr/netbsd -i /

It's recompiling the world...

I don't think that what I'm trying to do is that unreasonable.  In 
fact, it strikes me as the obvious way to proceed.  Is there something 
simple I'm missing?
