That is correct - the modules arch/version information was previously required in the path, as the modules were stored separately to the kernels (though it still offered potential issues where a kernel could use slightly mismatched modules). Plus of course the kernel did not have the arch/version information in the path. The new pattern offers the option to have arch/version information visible in path, plus avoiding any kernel/module mismatch - eg /netbsd-10.99.65/{kernel,modules} David
