don't know how to make dri3proto.h. Stop. Was: Re: why does dk(4) take precedence in boot device selection???

[M L Riechers <mlr%rse.com@localhost>]

Wow, that explains a lot.  I'm booting from partition h with 6.4, and
the kernel misses partition h, assuming root on a.  (Also, I'm using a
PS2 type keyboard, and, 3 times out of 4, I lose the keyboard when the
kernal asks for the root partition on a boot and ask.)

However, I just booted with Netbsd 7.0, and that stuff works
perfectly.  Thanks to whomever for clearing those issues up.

Now, on a more worrysome note, I just tried to compile:

/nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-7/201504201430Z

===> build.sh command:    ./build.sh -m amd64 -T /usr/local/src/HOUSE-7.0_BETA-amd64tools -R /usr/local/src/tar_files-HOUSE-7.0_BETA -X /usr/local/src/usr/usr.201405150740Z/xsrc -x release

===> HOST_SH:             /bin/sh

and somewhere in the X stuff, I got:

which is weird, because I looked at the dates, and nothing seems to
have changed, and it seems that nyftp was able to compile this.

Any ideas?

Yours,
