Hello.

I have just started using NetBSD on an old PC after many years with 
Linux. I am using NetBSD 3.0. I have a specific hardware device that 
is not configured by the stock kernel (GENERIC) but which is supported 
by the ral driver.

The ral module does not appear in the 3.0 kernel source but it is in 
current. I can compile the 3.0 GENERIC kernel but not current. On the 
basis of making as few changes as possible I would just like to 
incorporate the ral module code in my 3.0 source code and compile it 
into my kernel. How do I do this?

Cheers

Ian
