I'm trying to get my i386 machine running NetBSD-current using
the bsd.faq notes (3.1.7: Marcwan description of how to) with
little success. The description from the FAQ appears incomplete
and out of date. Could someone provide/point me to better instructions?
Among my problems: setenv's required are not set and/or described.
My machine does a core dump during make Suff_FindDeps. Some
directories described in the steps do not exist... such as
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gcc.  I am about to give up on NetBSD.
I'm trying to get -current going do I can run XFree86, which
wants to have shared libraries available. (No ld.so).
I'd appreciate some helpful hints here.
