ok, but it works now..
I think the problem was the decreasing of the version.
I changed it now to version 4.0.0 and it works.

"sysctl -n kern.ostype" is now: "Gateway"
"sysctl -n kern.osrelease" is now "4.0.0"

I=B4m still working on the "sysctl -n kern.version" output...

btw, does any1 know, where the copyright output after login comes =
from????

Every binary as an os-specific signature in it, as well as every library
being versioned in such a way that it can be related to a NetBSD =
release,
not to forget NetBSD being mentioned in every man page, in the boot up
message. etc.

That is because ipf is expecting a NetBSD 1.0.1 kernel, with 1.0.1 =
semantics.
