        You should install the 'vilearn' package from pkgsrc.
        See http://www.netbsd.org/packages/

        1) Make sure /dev/sd0e does not overlap any existing partitions.
           Check the output from 'disklabel(8)'.
        2) If it does not already contain a filesystem, run
           # newfs /dev/sd0e
        3) Mount it and copy across data
           # mount /dev/sd0e /mnt
           # cd /usr
           # pax -rw -pe . /mnt
           # umount /mnt
        4) Edit /etc/fstab and add '/dev/sd0e /usr ffs rw 1 2'
        5) Shutdown to single user mode and make new mountpoint
           # shutdown now
           # mv /usr /usr.old
           # mkdir /usr
        6) Bring system up, test, and when all OK, 'rm -rf /usr.old'

        Sorry, not an amiga expert :)

        The compiler in the comp.tar.gz should be fine

        See:
        http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/#how_to_build_a_kernel
        and
        http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html

        I'm afraid I can't help there - maybe someone else on the list?
