It's not in NetBSD-0.9, but in the -current source tree. Unless you are already using 'sup' to keep up to date (and you have to be on the 'net), then it may not be worth it. Unfortunatley, the current release is so leading edge, that you have to rebuild things like gas, libc.a and libkern.a just to get the new kernel to compile. sigh. But it is worth it. Unless someone wants me to, I won't give you directions on how to use sup and then get the current release compiling, since the people who are actually doing the hard work (thanks guys) may have a better or faster way.
