you have no kernal. kern is a directory, and since i dont know the inner
workings of unix i dont know what it does, but on my machine io have a
kernal called 'netbsd' in / it used to be called netbsd.quadra, but ps
wouldnt run and i renamed it netbsd. you can use the minishel to copy a
kernal to / by doing this 'cpin the.kernals.name netbsd' assuming the
kernal is in the same folder as the installer.
