I thank you Martin for the fast response. I tried using NetBSD-7 but the installer was not detecting my hard disk drive but I managed to install NetBSD-6.1.5 with no problem. So, I'm sticking with this one for now.

But, let say I'm using NetBSD-7 and I want to build azalia as a module in my HOME directory.
How would I proceed?

For reference here is what module(7) says about building all modules :

Is there a way of only building one module? (a module like azalia, not modules like ones in src/sys/modules/examples/)
