Subject: ftp.netbsd.org has BETA source not RELEASE?

Hello

I downloaded

/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-2-0/tar_files/src/sys.tar.gz

from ftp.netbsd.org

To recompile a 2.0 kernel:

# uname -a
NetBSD GATEWAY 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC) #0: Wed Dec  1 10:58:25 UTC
2004  builds@build:/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/i386/200411300000Z-obj/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
i386

However the src appears to be for NetBSD 2.0_BETA and therefore
doesn't work with the release version which I installed for iso. dmesg
didn't match kernel entries, and even when I managed to bypass this
there were user/kernel conflicts.

Where can I find the sys source for my kernel? I just installed from iso.

Or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks,

Amadeus
