	I recently grabed the tar'ed kernel soruce from sun-lamp
and when to compile a new kernel, supporting lpt/lpa's.  After
the compile (config GENERICISA), it generated a 618K kernel.  
knowing that it wouldn't work, I figured I'll cut the SCSI
support out of it, being I have no SCSI devices.  That generated
a kernel of 586K.  It too, wouldn't work.. 
	I'm currently still working with the origional compiler
to NetBSD (GCCv1.39).  Anything I'm donig wrong here, that would 
cause the generic configuration to compile such HUGE kernels
that won't load???
	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

			Thanks

P.S.: I'd use GCC2.3.3 on it with -O2 flag, but it doesn't even
come close to compiling correctly.  Any help there would be 
helpful too.
