1) You should probably want to download and install a -current
	snapshot instead of -current first.

	You should probably check out the updated
	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/index.html

	2) You want to use sup:
	See ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/README.sup

	3) Have just added this to the current/index.html page:

You should copy a current MAKDEV from the appropriate etc.port directory
in src/etc, into /dev, boot single user, then type: 

      fsck -p 
      mount -vt nonfs 
      cd /dev 
      ./MAKEDEV wscons 

	Hope that helps!
