I just installed NetBSD 0.9 ( after lots of troubles), and it seems to work
fine.  I am building the Current NetBSD and following the instruction
in FAQ (3.1.8 How to get a current version of NetBSD running).
The first five steps went OK.
 (setenv MACHINE_ARCH i386
  cd /usr/src/share/mk; make install
  cd /usr/src/include; make obj && make && make install
  setenv  LDSTATIC -static
  setenv NOPIC)
But in next step, which is : 
            cd /usr/src/lib/libc; make obj && make && make install
 it gives me :
            Bus error.  Core dump. 

(My machine is 386/25 with 8Meg, swap space is 16M)
What causes this error ?  

It is quite frustrating (in fact, many
procedures in NetBSD installation are quite frustrating.  The explanations
are not clear and I know the problem/solution only after I went thru lots of
trial-and-errors  :( ).
