I'm having nfs problems with NetBSD 0.9 GENERICAHBBT kernel.  I have a CompuAdd
486/33 EISA machine with IDE hardrive and 3com 3c503 card.
Nfs worked fine with 386bsd 0.1 on my machine.  The only problem I had was with
automounter which had to be setup to use 1k packets instead of 8k packets.
With NetBSD 0.9, I'm getting ed1: receiver ring buffer overrun..
At this point I usually have to reboot.  
I have NFSCLIENT turned on in netstart.  Looking at the config for GENERICAHBBT
shows that there is support for NFSCLIENT.  
I was attempting to rebuild my kernel, but /usr/src is on the nfs server. 
Will a kernel rebuild fix the problem?

Next problem, local mail:  I am rebuilding sendmail.cf from scratch.  I don'tve the copy that was used for 386bsd 0.1 which worked.  Outgoing works fine.
Incoming seems to work fine.  The mailer accepts responses on port 25 fine, but
when I try to read any mail sent to my machine, there is NONE.
