Hm, yeah:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 plunky wheel 5311262 Sep 12 19:28 netbsd
Ok, how about if I add it but commented out, so that at least if somebody
picks up the GENERIC file they can see that it should be possible?
Though, that only cuts it down to:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 plunky wheel 5222293 Sep 12 19:53 netbsd
whereas the INSTALL kernel (which I didnt add anything to but it does have
some stuff commented out) is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 plunky wheel 4803662 Sep 12 20:10 netbsd*
and I think tweaking would be necessary in any case..
