check out /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/netbsd

the sipb machine lola-granola is running this 4.4-lite-based kernel
and, well, it actually works (i've meddled around on it somewhat). the
full sources minus AFS source are under that path. you won't need to
pull *anything* from 4.3; netbsd runs (with some rough edges) right
out of the box.
