That there should be an entry in the FAQ about the '-G' flag is probably
right. But that the mailing list is not the proper place to announce is
wrong. The -current sources are ment to be used by delopers. They are
constantly updated by various developers. Each Saturday or Sunday night
a snapshot is taken from those sources. There is _no_ guarantee that
these snapshots will build cleanly (although they mostly do). If you
want a source that is guaranteed to build and that is in sync with all
the binaries supplied, you should use the 1.1-release.
In other words, staying in sync with -current always contains a bit of
a risk that you need to compile/install other binaries outside the
kernel as well. If for example something changes in the proc-structure,
you need to rebuild the libkvm library and all that depend on it.
Currently the only program that needs update is mount_msdos, I see if
I can put it up for ftp somewhere.

You should probably install a new include.tar.gz too. And run 'make install'
here.

Actually, there are plans to make the floppy device auto-detect the type
of floppy inserted.

What program generates it? I guess it is savecore. If so, does /netbsd
exist and does it contain the booted kernel?

Leo.
