I'm trying to build a new kernel in hopes of fixing the problem with my 
SIIG I/O card.

I have created a new config file. However, the faq seems to be of the 
opinion that what i need to do is 'config MACHINEID'.

where i am running into problems is my lack of a config command.

running find from the / dir turned up the source to config so I think 
"cool i'll compile that and be on my way".  Lo and behold, there is a 
file the machine desperately wants to include and can't find (and right 
now i can't remember what the hell it is).

so now just to be silly and to see what would happen I comment that 
include line out. Of course now it fails to find yacc.

Now this is my first time trying to build a kernel, so i guess my big 
question is: What am i doing wrong?

with variations being: 	Stupidity, nature or nuture?
			Why does the FAQ make my eyes hurt so?
			Is NetBSD a safe alternative to self-flagelation?


any help is greatly apreciated.
