BTW, note that I didn't try it but I think you should be able to start from
the 1.6 branch:
cd src/sys
cvs update -r netbsd-1-6 -dPA
cd arch/i386
cvs update -r sommerfeld_i386mp_1 -dPA .

By using the 1.6 branch instead of plain current you may avoid some of the
usual problems of current (especially, you'll have a stable userland)
