Hi!

Well now that the kernel can successfully be compiled and booted on this
Q700,a couple questons come to mind:  how do those who build their own
kernels keep the other bin utilities in sync with the kernel changes?
For example, with a newly compiled netbsd kernel  typing "ps" to see
what processes are running ps blows these chunks,

    "ps: proc size mismatch (14076 total, 616 chunks)"

Now, as far as i recall this happened in the past whenever a different
kernel was installled with older (or newer--forgot which) snapshot
files. Currently a current 971004 snapshot with a GENERIC 44 netbsd
kernel runs fine using "ps" on this box. Are you all installing and
building the whole package to keep your utilities useable? Which leads
me to another question, how about your other critical applications, do
they have to also get recompiled when you rebuild a kernel? I recall a
while back alot of threads regarding sup-ing the netbsd tree, so is that
the best way it's done? Seem like it takes about 25 minutes to get just
the kernel to compile. Do you switch to another machine while the
downloads recompile?

Any help helps!

Sincerely,
