 The build option KERNEL_DIR implements the ``top level directory, 
 /netbsd, which would contain a kernel and modules'' suggesttion.  It
 has been available for more than 5 years now, and recent workk by
 me has made it actually useful (On i386 and amd64 only).  Just build
 with
 
  	build.sh -V KERNEL_DIR=yes ...
 
 and update your stage-3 boot loader (biosboot or efiboot).
