While I'm encouraged because this is the closest I've gotten to a
kernel not only compiling, but working as well, I'm stumpted.  I got
the tarballs as of, oh, Jan 23 let's say.  I've pretty much given up
on oldconf, as makedep always turns up includes for files which exist
no where in the file tree.  so I tried newconf (I used the NEWCONF
almost verbatim, changing only the timezone and the config line:
config    netbsd root on rz1a swap on rz2b and rz0b dumps on rz2b).
Lo and behold, it compiled.  So (and watch my step here, I seem to
recall there being something else I needed to do), I moved my present
kernel to safe new name, moved netbsd (the a.out flavour generated by
elf2aout) to / and rebooted.  I got this:

then I'm for all intents and purposes hung.  I seem to recall hearing
something about something else needing to be compiled, perhaps init.
On that offchance, I did so, but still no dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
