Hi,
Thank you very much! That solved the problem. Somehow I thought ./build.sh
-t would automatically update the tools, config, etc in the system. This time
I had to manually go into /usr/src/tools/config and do make && make install.
#cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
#/usr/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.6G-i386/bin/nbconfig GENERIC_LAPTOP
did it.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
