Okay, I got the NetBSD-1.3-1.3.1.sys.diff.gz file and ungzipped it

I'm not quite sure what to do next. When I changed pwd to /usr/src (my
syssrc tree is /usr/src/sys ) and ran "patch < *diff" I got an error like
"Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me..."

does this mean my version of patch is too old? my system is a NetBSD 1.3.1
snapshot system.  I'm probably not using patch correctly or something.

If anyone can give me any more pointers on applying this patch, I'd be most
grateful.

thanks a lot!
