Can't say I did.  I just built the kernel as directed in
<www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel>.  I ran through the steps in  "How to
build a kernel", and step 12 just says to copy the netbsd file into the root
to replace the old one, then reboot.  Was there more I was supposed to do???

It seems to run fine in single CPU mode, but sure would be nice to get the
 2'd one doing something other than generating heat.
