Hi,
I had same problems with source tree obtained under
NetBSD 1.1. After I got the sources from NetBSD-current
everything started to work. I was able to build some
kernels with NetBSD 1.1 sources also, but it was very
difficult to find combination of options that really worked.
Regards, Ari S.

Subject: Building 1.2 Kernels
Dear All,
Stupid question time again. I can build a kernel so long as I
stay with option GENERIC and option netbsd swap generic.
If I try anything else, say leaving out the GENERIC option and
doing config netbsd root on ra0a swap on ra0b the resultant kernel
crashes. Usually at the stage when root is configured.
What options should I use if I want to allocate root and swap in this
manner?. I am happy to stay with option GENERIC and swap generic
for now but I ask in case I want to play in the future.
Regards
Robin Birch
