} as an example.

	Ok.  I got that file, but that's not what I downloaded from
nyftp.netbsd.org  for the 7.99.42 release.  Is this a change in how the
build works or am I building something different?

	A followup question as well.  I took the kernel7.img file from that
image and put it in the boot partition of my working RPI SD card.  When I
rebooted, the machine didn't  come back up.  I don't know why because I
don't have a console or HDMI monitor on it.  I'm assuming I was missing
some piece in the boot process, since when I put the old kernel7.img file
back, things booted again.  If I completely replace the contents of the
boot partition with the contents of the new image's boot partition, should
that be sufficient to get things booting again?  I ask because I've build a
lot of stuff on the ffs partition of the SD card, and I'd like to preserve
that while upgrading the kernel.
