:)Correct.  The by far easiest way to do this is to install a
:)snapshot and do the build from there.

Don't forget to mention that 1.4.2 (ALPHA) is *not* as -current as some
"older" snapshots, in particular the most recent -current snapshot:
<ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/hp300/snapshot/19991204>

Yes, the naming scheme is confusing, but the released versions of NetBSD
are considered stable and do not have all the new features and additions of
a -current snapshot.

In any case, you can most likely use miniroot to install the -current
snapshot onto your hard drive.  Some of the configuration scripts will
fail, but you can edit those files by hand in single-user mode.

Good luck,
