	I looked at that file.  Maybe I need to read it again, but I just 
did not really understand precisely what steps I should be following. 
There's stuff in there on cross-compiling and a whole bunch of other 
things, but I didn't see anything that looked like an obvious 
procedure that I should follow.

	I was hoping for something like:

		1.  Install NetBSD 1.5.2
		2.  Follow chapter 18.1 of "The NetBSD operating system:
		    a short guide", as available from
		    <http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/#netbsd-guide>
		    to download the full source of the operating system.
		    Note that, as of 1.5.2, the full sources require
		    ~700MB of free disk space in /usr/src.
		3.  Type "cd /usr/src; make"
		4.  Before installing the new binaries, make and install
		    a new kernel image using the instructions available in
		    chapter XXX of the NetBSD Guide.
		5.  Type "cd /usr/src; make install"
		6.  Reboot the system.

	Myself, I've gotten to the end of step 2, and I'm not really sure 
if this is the script I should be following, or where the 
instructions are for building a new kernel image using the new tools, 
but before installing the binaries.

	That is a part of the procedure which I was not previously aware 
of, but which does make sense.  Thanks!
