I could not find a syssrc.tgz file for NetBSD current on the ftp, but
i had success building my own kernel on yesterdays (July 20th) daily,
where i could download the syssrc.tgz.

I have set output-device only to screen.
I doubled the SSIZE and the mach64 drivers seems to work as it should
on my machine (Sun Blade 100).
