OK.  So you are saying that kernel 1.5.1 beta2 is a normal part of
this release branch?

I had the 1.5 kernel, and after running sup this is the kernel that
I ended up with:

NetBSD escape 1.5.1_BETA2 NetBSD 1.5.1_BETA2 (ESCAPE) #1: Fri May 25 14:37:01
EDT 2001     root@escape:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/ESCAPE sparc

For /usr/src/usr.sbin and the others it seems to be fine. I saw the
dhcpd fixes I needed, for example, but nothing marked beta.

But for the kernel, I ended up with 1.5.1 beta2, and that doesn't sound
like a bug fix to the release branch.
