things in NetBSD/arch/* are binary snapshots. They are built
on a random day and made available. there's no promises that
they will work as-is.
i'll be making a new binary snapshot in a few days.. when I
feel comfortable enough that the image of my working machine
can be hoisted once again on the masses.. (i don't have
a 2nd machine w/ disk to test the binary snapshots on).
that's prolly why you found a few errors. so? install /usr/src
on the machine and bring it up to speed.
you prolly should be on the mailing list current-users, where
things of this kind are often discussed.
