Unfortunately, you have much fun to install the patchkit manually if you
only have the sys.386bsd tree, because a big disadvantage of the patchkit
yet is that it is grown naturally, so application and kernel patches
are quite mixed together. This causes many patches to fail, just because
one of some parts tries to fix a non kernel file.
