Match in what sense? The GENERIC config hasn't changed in any 
significant way throughout the BETA cycle, and beyond. (IIRC, 
the "geodeide" driver was added last summer.)

You can extract a usable config file from your present kernel with

  config -x /netbsd > CONFIG

The only difference between the result of that, and the GENERIC config 
actually used, will be a few extra comments that won't affect utility.
