Note that we've traditionally had emulation uname -s report that we're
running NetBSD, not the emulated OS. There are lots of advantages to each
side. Making them report the emulated OS makes installs simpler, but
making them report NetBSD helps things like web browsing; the uname OS
gets sent to the other side, so our BSDI or Linux netscapes would credit
BSDi or Linux, not us.

Take care,
