Subject: hmmm, how do I make my own working kernel?

Well, with a bunch of trials and tribulations, I
managed to build -current on my G4 using the Dec
snapshot as a starting point. Unfortunately, the
only kernel I seem to be able to boot is the one 
from the snapshot called netbsd.GENERIC_MD, and I
can't get the netbsd.GENERIC to work at all. My own
kernel which is merely a GENERIC kernel with a
root on wd1a as ffs   (or however it is...) will
not boot, but panics instead, with no keyboard
working. I do also (always, even when I boot the
_MD kernel) have some keyboard error that sticks
on the lower corner of the screen after the font
changes.

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas how to get my 
system into an operational state, I'd appreciate
it. Mounting stuff onto a mfs filesystem and doing
a chroot works, but isn't really what I had in mind.

TIA
