1.5.1_ALPHA isn't *current*. 1.5.1_ALPHA would be cut from the latest
sources on the netbsd-1-5 release branch. Current is the main trunk,
wherein all the new stuff appears first. Then, after testing, it's
pulled up to the release branch(es). Sup of "current" is supposed to
switch to current (really) pretty soon. When that happens, you'll have
to change your collection to still get "netbsd-1-5".

Were you using "anoncvs", instead of "sup", you could switch your
/syssrc/sys directories from current, with "cvs update -A", to
NetBSD-1.5.x_ALPHA, via "cvs update -rnetbsd-1-5", at will.

For now, if you want to test the changes without dealing (too much)
with current, try downloading just the kernel from the latest
snapshot:
