Cool. Well I figured out how to make it work so that I didn't have to type
the file name of every .c file - I just "ln -s . netbsd-1.3" and "ln -s .
netbsd-1.3.1" in /usr/src

that made the patching process go smoothly, anyway. i hope this compiles
fine...never had a kernel successfully compile before.

thanks,
