So I finally rebuilt a kernel for that machine, reducing the kernel size from 23mb to 2.7mb. I needed that RAM badly in the end.

I couldn't test the parallel, pcmcia ports, but all the rest just work, I even took the luxury to try adding urndis(4) but that doesn't play well with USB1. Well it's compensated by using yt-dlp(1) then ffplay2(1) successfully to play youtube audio on a 25 years old clunker.

I'm very impressed by build.sh, it's magic and hard to believe for the newcomer! I cross-compiled the NetBSD kernel from Linux/amd64 to NetBSD/i386 with ease thanks to the official docs and some wget(1) invocations to download sets.

I'll keep dearly my kernel config file derived from GENERIC_TINY. It has been the hard part ahah
