In message <3C7CE022.32C3D95E@email.sps.mot.com>, you write: 

-> Sorry to bother you to ask basic questions.

There are no such things as bad questions, only bad answers 8-)

-> 1) Which configuration file should I use to optimize the kernel for O2?
->    INDY ?  GENERIC_INDY ? TEAL ?

Due to some unfortunate naming, the config file for the O2 is called "INDY".
TEAL is the config file for IP22/IP24-class machines (Indy, Indigo2, and 
their Challange cousins, the Challenge S and Challenge M).

GENERIC_INDY was the start of something Soren was working on, but is in
a half-finished state.

-> 2) I could "config TEAL" and "config INDY" with my cross environment. But
->    I could not do "make depend". What is wrong? 
[...]
-> # config INDY
-> Don't forget to run "make depend"
-> # 
-> # cd ../compile/INDY
-> # make depend
-> make: don't know how to make depend. Stop
-> # ls Makefile
-> Makefile
-> # grep depend Makefile
-> # 
-> # more Makefile
-> IDENT=-DMIPS3_ENABLE_CLOCK_INTR -DSCSI_DELAY="0" -DMIPS3 -DMIPS3_5200 -DDEBU
-> G -D
-> DIAGNOSTIC
-> PARAM=-DMAXUSERS=32
-> S=      ../../../..
-> DEFTEXTADDR=0x80069000
-> MACHINE_ARCH=mipseb
-> TEXTADDR=0x80069000
-> #       $NetBSD: Makefile.sgimips.inc,v 1.6 2001/12/09 05:00:50 atatat Exp $
-> # 

That's the whole makefile??  In that case, something is wrong; my guess is 
that you're running on old config... Try running the nbconfig from your
cross-tools directory (and first make sure it's up-to-date).

-> 3) I could not do "config generic_indy". It was not correct config file ??

See above.
