Boy, this stuff is a real moving target, isnt it.

I had all the sources, as at 27.11.93 loaded and started the whole thing
from scratch.  I got the same barf about cd but knew where to fix that one
so it was easy.  I edited Makefile.mac to include all your suggested
defines.  Awk in place meant "make depend" worked fine.

A new bug showed up in scsi/st.c

I think these fields are not defined, even in the new mtio.h you sent out.
I put #if 0/#endif around them and it compiled ok.  I dont have tapes!

Some linking problems revealed that the ..../sys/conf/files.newconf seemed a
bit short.

a.	exec_aout.c was missing but kern_exec.c referred to it
	(exec_aout_makecmds())
b.	sysv_ipc.c was missing but sysv_shm.c referred to it (ipcaccess())
c.	if_ethersubr.c was "ether needs-flag" where if_ether.c was "ether
	inet" and because GENERIC only defines "inet" it only got if_ether.
	(_ether_sprintf())

I stuffed about a little trying to get rid of SYSVSHM but it appears that
it gets conditionally compiled into other modules and I couldn't be
bothered waiting for a full recompile so I put it back in.

Anyway, net result.  A RELINKED KERNEL.    Hooray!

Now the bad news.

When I booted using the new kernel, it seemed to get confused by my Syquest
88M removable (where MacBSD lives until I get more space).  It seemed to be
recognising the same drive multiple times.  I can't be sure but I think
that it recognised my two fixed drives (mac-only) as drives 1 & 2 and then 
thought that my Syquest was 8 (eight) seperate drives.  Eventually it
started saying "Too many drives, reconfigure kernel"

Anyway, that aside, it seemed to stay up and running although I didn't want
to stress it out any.  Any comments?
