Building new GENERIC kernel for 1.5.3 upgrade. "make depend" took 1 minute and 17 seconds. The "make" took 11 minutes.

After reboot, doing "make build" again without setting DESTDIR (so it will install to /) and set BUILD=1 and UPDATE=1. This install took less than 14 minutes.

Now to update /etc, /var, etc. Using my own update_etc, this took about six minutes. I ran it like:

OLD=/var NEW=/usr/local/netbsd-1.5.3/var sh ./update_etc.sh

(Also for /etc and manually copied over /dev/MAKEDEV*.) But when I rebooted, I couldn't log in. It appeared that ssh didn't like the password. Oh, I see I should have edited /etc/sshd.conf. New default is "PermitRootLogin no".

Worked on binary updates.
