I took both the .sinclude statement and the -pipe flags. Indeed, the
floppies got created properly.

For some reason the process requires to find
{bld-dir}.../etc/pf.{os|conf}, which do not get created. I have copies
from an earlier version; I just copy them in the above place and
restart the process. I don't know, probably something did not get
updated properly.

The worst with 3.99.7 on my laptop was with the cardbus - it is anHP
Omnibook 6000, I have been using a Xircom Cardbus Ethernet
10/100+Modem56 on this machine for ages with no problems whatsoever (
in fact, the reason I jumped from OpenBSD to NetBSD was precisely that
- I could use the modem and the ethernet port on it; one if these did
not work under Open... at the time). Now all I get is:

(b69 when connecting, 326 when disconnecting).=20

No big deal as I can use the ex0: ( 3Com 3c556 ) mini-pci i/f, but
still not nice. The same happens with other cardbus adapters ( I.E.
SMC EZConnect, this one is not supported by NetBSD yet as it is
Prism54, but the message from cbb0: is the same).

BTW I use GENERIC_LAPTOP. The weird thing is that booting 3.99.3 from
02/05/2005 did not change this ( using 3.99.7 userland, ofcourse) -
the cbb0 message is the same.

I will try to build an ACPI kernel to see if there will be any difference.=
