Re: bad dir ino 4 at offset 80: mangled entry

You're not the first person to report this.  It is clearly some issue with
the NetBSD tools that are cross-compiled under Cygwin (my guess is
that the problem lies in nbmakefs).  From what I have seen, the kernel
is fine, it's just the ramdisk filesystem image is corrupt.

However, since no one has stepped up and debugged the problem, it has not
been fixed.  I don't think many of the NetBSD hard-core developers
cross-compile under Cygwin.  If you want to solve the problem, the best
way is to roll up your sleeves and track it down.
