First thing I checked was to see if it was there, it wasn't.

This, along with the fact that the other Sparcbook stuffs aren't in 3.1
led me to grab the daily builds from the ftp site and check those out.
I started with the most recent version, plus the associated syssrc.tgz
so I could have a nice TADPOLE3GX kernel, problem is, it won't work:

# config TADPOLE3GX
../../../../net/files.pf:18: syntax error
../../../../net/files.pf:19: syntax error
../../../../net/files.pf:20: syntax error

Same things happens if I run config against the unedited GENERIC config,
still does it with the previous snapshot.

I used binary and src sets out of

/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200610210000Z

and

/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200610260000Z

with the same results.
