   Would hacking the Ultrix source be too terribly difficult
then? Remapping symbols won't work because it's looking for /vmunix
correct? Or does Ultrix compat. mode handle that? If it does than it's
simply remapping Ultrix symbol names to NetBSD sybols right? Does it go
like this?

/vmunix -> /netbsd such that

/vmunix/physmem -> /netbsd/physmem (which isn't defined I assume, then
just switch physmem to the NetBSD sybol?)

or is it that Ultrix compat mode needs to have these sybols defined in the
kernel, thus being able to use the existing sybols?

    I have next to zero programming experience, but maybe I can figure
this out. Am I on the right track here?
