Folks,

	Maybe this is a question better aimed at -questions, but I 
figured I would ask here first, to see if there were any 
platform-specific issues to be concerned about.


	Anyway, I recently installed NetBSD 1.5.2 on a Twinhead 
Twinstation 5G (Sun SPARCstation 5 clone), but I'm now trying to 
upgrade to -current, because I want support for the QuadFastEthernet 
SBus card that I have also installed.  Unfortunately, what 
documentation I have found online doesn't seem to really address this 
issue very well.

	I have managed to do a CVS checkout of all the current source 
code (all ~710MB worth), but it is not clear to me what the next step 
should be, and what kinds of things I should be looking out for.


	Thanks for any advice or help you can provide!
