Hi again,
I got THIS close to having a -current kernel built (sup'ped on 16-feb).  
But it gets right to the end, trys to link, and I get:

ld -Z -Ttext 80000000 -e _start -S -o netbsd ${SYSTEM_OBJ} vers.o
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_cmi_ca' referenced from data segment
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_cmi_cd' referenced from data segment
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_cpu_bi_ca' referenced from data segment
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_mem_bi_ca' referenced from data segment
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_mem_cmi_ca' referenced from data segment
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_uba_cmi_ca' referenced from data segment
ioconf.o: Undefined symbol `_uba_sbi_ca' referenced from data segment
ka43.o: Undefined symbol `_gets' referenced from text segment
*** Error code 1

Did I sup a bad version of ioconf.c?  I suppose I can get rid of the 
VAX43 support, which I don't really need.

BTW, I'm using a -current version of config and make now.

thanks in advance... I'm almost there...  :)
