Hi Greg,

I was doing anything serious, I was bored and only tried to compile full 
NetBSD from Linux, just as an exercise following the NetBSD Guide (it 
sounds cool to compile a full OS from another OS). I choose 
NetBSD-current just for choosing something and see what happened.

No, I do not have the expertise to fight with the OS at such level ;-)
