Hmmm. interesting. If I use the just suggested (manual) method, ie

> cd /usr/src
> ./build.sh tools
> cd /sys/arch/<ARCH>/conf
> /usr/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-<VER>-<ARCH>/bin/nbconfig <FILE>
> cd ../compile/<FILE>
> /usr/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-<VER>-<ARCH>/bin/nbmake-<ARCH> depend
> /usr/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-<VER>-<ARCH>/bin/nbmake-<ARCH>
> /usr/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-<VER>-<ARCH>/bin/nbmake-<ARCH> install

or the build.sh method, kernel builds work. If I use the old (manual)=20
method...

cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
config GENERIC

I get...
=09../../../../dev/ata/files.ata:17: syntax error
=09../../../../dev/ata/files.ata:21: undefined attribute `ataraid'
=09../../../../arch/i386/conf/files.i386: device `ataraid' used but not d=
efined

Is the old manual method still supposed to work?
