When I use a kernel that I built, swapinfo freaks out, its right after some system call (I don't remember the exact message). Hmm. It just occured to me that it might be something simple. I name the new kernel /netbsd_test . Unfortunately, utilities which use kvm.c (i.e. swapinfo, ps, w, etc.) currently have no way of finding the appropriate info except by poking at the symbol table of the kernel. However, the symbol table is not loaded when booting (and probably shouldn't be). Thus, the path to the kernel is hard-coded. Try `swapinfo -N /netbsd_test' and `ps -N /netbsd_test'. (I see the man page for swapinfo needs updating.)
