Uhm....

you do NOT type "make AMIGA" to make your kernel.

registered developers type "make AMIGA" in the conf directory to regenerate
the AMIGA file from a changed GENERIC (same for DRACO), and then check it into
the tree.

Instead,
--------------------------------
config HOWYOURCONFIGFILEISCALLED
cd ../compile/HOWYOURCONFIGFILEISCALLED
make depend
make
--------------------------------

Most are used, mostly, in a fixed way. (Hint: look at the include directives.)
Don't touch. The SMM document is very out of date. Or rather, we had a lot
of changes since 4.4BSD.

You're welcome to contribute the code. I'll integrate it: :-)
