In brief:

	cd /usr/src/sys/arch/arm32/conf
	cp GENERIC NAME
where NAME is traditionally the name of your computer in capital letters,
then edit NAME ("man options" can be quite handy)
	config NAME
	cd ../compile/NAME
	make depend && make
	mv /netbsd /netbsd.old
	mv netbsd /
	shutdown -r now
to reboot your computer with the new kernel.

Pass! I thought you ended up with a tree below /usr/pkg ...

Good luck,
