I'm trying to upgrade from 1.5_BETA2 to current, cvs updated to yesterday.
Clean tree, as I blew it all away and checked it back out.

I mount a large filesystem from another machine (lyra), running 1.5_ALPHA2,
then null mount the source tree I want to use on /usr/src.
lyra:/stuff         88812292 14537100  74275192      16%    /stuff
/stuff/NetBSD/src   88812292 14537100  74275192      16%    /usr/src

There was no ../compile/GENERIC when I did this:
solstice# config GENERIC
config: error removing tmp_raid.h: Invalid argument
*** Stop.
solstice# ls ../compile/GENERIC/

The problem goes away if I do this in the nfs mounted but not null mounted
tree, ie in /stuff/NetBSD/src/sys/arch/i386/conf.  So it looks like this
is something no one has run into?  Should it be fixed?
