Actually, a compile of a whole lotta files (apologies to Pete Puma) and a
link.  For example, you might do this:

	cd /sys/arch/mac68k/conf
	cp GENERIC MOOF
	vi MOOF  (config the kernel the way you like)
	config MOOF
	cd ../compile/MOOF
	make depend && make

When that's done, you'll have a new "netbsd" kernel that you can then copy
to (after moving the old one out of the way for safekeeping, of course).

If you use SUP, you can just grab the "ksrc" release.  This is more than
you need, though, so you could conceivably just grab the "ksrc-common" and
"ksrc-mac68k" releases.

I am not a representative of the release engineer, but it seems to me that
it's the same BSD story as from days of yore:  "we will release no
operating system before its time."
