Are you running -current, or do you only have a -current source tree?

You should do the following before trying to build config:

cd /usr/src/share/mk; make install
cd /usr/src/include; make install

Then:

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config; make && make install
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf; config MACHINEID
cd ../compile/MACHINEID; make depend && make
mv /netbsd /onetbsd; cp netbsd /netbsd; shutdown -r now

WARNING:  You must have the COMPAT_10 option in your config file, or
your system will puke when you boot with a -current kernel and a 1.0
userland.

Look at the 'build' target in /usr/src/Makefile for hints on how to
finish upgrading your system after this point.

When you're done, don't forget to go back and delete old leftover
things, like config.new.
