current-users is probably the best place to post questions
regarding problems with '-current'.
To upgrade to -current form 1.2 the following will _probably_
work:
cd /usr/src
make includes
cd share/mk
make install
cd ../../usr.bin/make
make cleandir && make && make install
cd ../../usr.sbin/config
make cleandir && make && make install
cd ../../sys/arch/`uname -m`/conf
### Copy GENERIC to MYCONF then edit MYCONF to taste
rm -rf ../compile/MYCONF
config MYCONF
cd ../compile/MYCONF
make
mv /netbsd /onetbsd
mv netbsd /
### reboot - if you have problems boot /onetbsd and swap
### it back over netbsd.
cd /usr/src
make build
Good luck!
