Hi

Here's what Simas told me about it:

Hi Ja'far

well, i have commented those options because I have examined source code
of the file, which contains error message you got.
adjustkernel is not broken, but it is outdated. it was initialy writen
for netbsd 1.5x, and in those days NetBSD version is 1.6.x and 2_BETA.
so it need to be updated. maybe author will do this,
maybe one day I will. ;)

Sincerely,
Simas Mockevicius.
