By person... When you do 'config GENERIC' in a clean source tree, the
first kernel you build will be #0. Each time you attempt to link the
kernel, that version gets incremented by one. I generally ignore that
number, myself, although I probably shouldn't...

That's because the /netbsd and the current kernel are not the same.
Savecore needs to get the default dump device from the kernel, but
if /netbsd and the current running kernel don't match, it gets confused.
So do a few other programs.
I'm sure some other folks can help you with SL/IP. I haven't used it in
a while.
