Your own kernelDon't be afraid if you never did it before. It's safe. It's piece of cake. It's a dessert after installing NetBSD.`cd /sys/arch/<architecture>/conf/` and copy GENERIC config file to another file name. Do all the work with this new file. You will then see its customized name displayed (in parenthesis) when your system boots.A few simple steps will let you get rid of unneccessary drivers. It's just a "fat burning" for generic kernel, usually counted in megabytes. Even if you think it's monkey business to comment out a few lines in /sys/arch/<architecture>/conf/<new_file>, you will be rewarded with much self-confidence once you succeed.Don't delete your old compiled kernel. In case of troubles, you should always have it few keystrokes away. Read carefully `man 8 boot` and rename the original /netbsd file accordingly. Then copy your new kernel to /.
