Nope, they aren't. I can't get them in sync, since any kernel from 27-36 
won't boot on my machine at all. The boot freezes at the line "sbc0 at 
obio0: options=1<PDMA>" or some such error...

Nope, I still get that one "bad system call" error right after leaving 
single user (as I explained in my original post)...

No, I've been using the same GENERICSBC #26 kernel since the last time I 
installed NetBSD (which was about 4-5 months ago, I took about a 6 month 
break...last summer I was fooling with NetBSD)...

It's a Performa 600...and it is supported by 1.2.1. 

Thanks a lot Colin...
