The best way to get the latest release is to sup the NetBSD source tree
and rebuild it yourself:

Create /etc/supfiles/
Create the file /etc/supfiles/coll.list:

release-1-5 release=allsrc host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=/ftp/pub \
base=/usr prefix=/usr backup use-rel-suffix compress

Look in /usr/share/examples/supfiles if you prefer a different location.
Note that the first line has release-1-5 at the beginning, not current.

Then, put any options you like in /etc/mk.conf (such as
CFLAGS+=-m68040, 68040=YES), then sup the tree and build:

sup -s -v (several hours to a day depending on your bandwidth)
cd /usr/src
make build (about 35 hours for a 40 MHz 68040, more for slower machines)

Then compile a new kernel based on these sources, and you'll have the most
current (not to be confused with -current) 1.5 release.
