0) extract the syssrc.tgz set in '/'.
1) cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
2) cp GENERIC MYCONFIG
3) vi MYCONFIG

    here you can add/remove drivers, filesystems, or kernel compile-time
    options. You may want to have a look at the man pages in section 4,
    especially options(4).
4) config MYCONFIG
	if config complains, goto 3)
5) cd ../compile/MYCONFIG
6) make depend && make
   this will produce you a binary called 'netbsd'. It's the kernel.
   If make fails, 'rm *.o' and goto 3)
7) mv /netbsd /netbsd.old #just in case ...
8) cp netbsd /
9) reboot


Hum ... any volunter to clean up/complete this and put it on a www page ? :)
