There's little point in using that, IMHO. The sources in this archive are 
very old...
It's better to use sup to fetch the current sources from the NetBSD sup 
server (or preferably one of its mirrors). Install the sup set and read 
the instructions. If you can't get it to work, you can always ask me, 
because I have it running.

One snag with this is however that Mark is always very busy and didn't 
check in the latest changes, so you will not get a kernel with the 
features of bsd-4444 but rather one comparable with bsd-4130 or so (plus 
the changes to the machine independent part made by other persons from 
the core team of NetBSD). I hope that Mark will find some time to 
check the latest changes in soon.

You have to be more specific, otherwise we can't help you.
But I remember that a newer config program was introduced some time 
ago, maybe that's your problem. It can be found in the upgrades directory 
for the 1.1-beta release.

I really don't know if you could compile this into a NetBSD/arm32 kernel 
and if this would work. There would probably be problems because of the 
68xxx being big endian and the ARM family being little endian (or vice 
versa).
I would be really astonished if it was possible to read AmigaDOS drives 
with RiscBSD. And floppies won't work either AFAIK because the floppy 
controller used in the Risc PC can't cope with the way the Amiga writes 
to floppy.
