Hi,

I've installed (I think) NetBSD 1.2 on my sun3/60.  I was trying
to build perl5, when I got these "can't fork" errors.  After some
thought (and sending mail to this list), I figured that I need to 
increase MAXUSERS in the kernel config.  Simple enough, or so I 
thought.

Okay, so I download the source.  Unpack it and try to build it.

Trying a "make build" from /usr/src lead to so many errors, I decided to 
skip it.

>From /usr/src/sys, I tried a "make" and had problems in "stand/libsa"
The function panic() in panic.c has a different declaration that the
one in /usr/src/sys/lib/libsa/stand.h

So, at this point I decided just to try and configure a new kernel.
Just as a test, decide to rebuild the GENERIC kernel.  But when
I typed "config GENERIC", I got a bunch of errors along the likes of
	../../../conf/files: 312  syntax error

Help!  I just wanted to build the kernel.  I would be nice if I could
build the whole system from scratch (why? just because.)

Thanks,
