This is correct. Also, ps, parts of systat, parts of vmstat wont work,
and I am pretty sure that you should have problems with swap.

1.2G is a member of the post-1.2-release main branch of development,
while 1.2 and 1.2.1 are a release branch, which is a dead end. Ive put a
graph of this onto http://www.netbsd.org/, select "NetBSD_curretn",
select "NetBSD_current" again.

You'll have to wait for the 1.2G snapshot, or for the 1.3-ALPHA
snapshot, to use that kernel. Its only meant for people betatesting the
-current development branch.
