Hi All

Heres a rather strange question but I would like to ask it anyway.

Are there any implications with taking a netBSD 4 kernel and the 
associated lkms and using it in a system that has otherwise been 
compiled with netBSD 3. Essentially taking an existing netBSD 3 unit and 
overwriting the lkm and the kernel binaries with a netBSD 4 version. 
Will the system still work? and if so will it work reliably? Has anyone 
done something like this before?

Thanks,

Ian
