>Description:
For some reason the NetBSD Guide prioritizes a bunch of detailed instructions about how to manually build a kernel by running config and make yourself, out of a read/write source tree:
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-build.html#chap-boot-cross-config-kernel
This should be relegated to a separate section that comes later, and the guide should start front and center with just:
./build.sh ... tools kernel=GENERIC
This should come before any piles of prose get in the way of building your kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
read the guide
>Fix:
Yes, please!
