Well, I copied the netbsd from the compile directory to the root.  The size
of the two files are very close (the old and the new).  Permissions are the
same.

The original netbsd boots normally.

I compiled using the GENERIC config file to see if it was the entry I made
and it won't boot and gives me the same error, even though the new netbsd is
exactly the same size as the old one.  What am I doing wrong?
