That's an old src. Get the whole source from netbsd.org and apply the
fs patch (and the csc patch if you want cumana scsiII support). You will
also need the new version of config on ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk (This is the
source of the ioconf.c errors)
As to the fpe errors, I've never seen them! (and I compiled a new
kernel last night from fresh sources!)
What settings to you have in your configuration file for FP support?
Mine are...
# FPA options
#options FPE # Single precision FPE
options ARMFPE # ARM Ltd FPE

Sounds very dodgy, I'd pull over a fresh source, apply the patches, and
reconfigure with the new config. It should work first time!
Ale.
