Hi Colin,

ls /sbin/init is not in GENERIC-35, the kernel that I hope will boot on
my PowerBook 170 (68030), however, it is on the NetBSD base121 kernel
which I have:

	ls /shin/init

	21   -r-x --- ---   1      3    131072  Mar 17         1931  /sbin/init

How could I extract this base file and install only it, for the build
with GENERIC-35. Building GENERIC-35 with the full base121 kernel bombs
very early in the boot process.

Thanks...  -Emmett
