I'm not sure about the differences, I am new to NetBSD, & absolute 
unknown to kernel hacking. Someone posted in earlier thread, when I was 
initially trying to get up & running, that the DS3231 was not supported, 
that's what I was going on. What is the name of this config file & where 
does it go, /etc ? I will be happy to try this if feasible :-) ....
