Well, this is a bit heavy. The main thing should be for Debian/BSD to package up a BSD kernel. Where things go in the NetBSD side is pretty much still up to you all. However, I think that there's a dpkg --root=DIR option that you may just put in NetBSD's /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg, assuming you want to aim at a moving together rather than just a netbsd-kernel.deb. >-- >Perry E.
