I have updated my patch so now there are all files. NetBSD
guide also  
builds for me correctly. There is one empty subchapter in my
patch in  
chap-net-misc with id chap-net-misc-sync-systemclock-server
I don't  
have  enough information about setting ntpd server to write
it. but  
if we add chapter about client we should add chapter about
server  
also .

I will go to the weekend vacation tomorrow, there I want to
write  
some missing parts of our guide mostly filesystem, disk
device part(I  
hope that I will completely nuke misc chapter with this
chapter).

I want to include these subchapters in filesystem chapter:

realfs -> lfs, ffsv1,ffsv2, ext2 etc.
puffs/FUSE filesystems
pseudo filesys -> kernfs, procfs, nullfs etc.

in disk devce chapter I want to add these chapters

netbsd partitions (include disklabel and wedges/gpt)
setup booting from partition.

What do you think about these chapters ?r

Sure, we should have that chapter. We can add this to the
worklist.
But I don't like like to fill up another chapter with
"misc" stuff.
Why not just a "chap-net-ntpd" chapter instead?

That's sounds great!

okay


> puffs/FUSE filesystems


Isn't this -current/5.0? Will puffs be backported to 4.x?
To stay maintainable, the guide should only handle the two
actual
release/stable versions
This will be NetBSD 3.x and 4.x, until the release of 5.0

But this should really not detain you from documenting the
brandnew things!
We could put this temporary under http://netbsd.org/docs/
-> "FAQs and
HOWTOs",
maybe under something "New in NetBSD-current"

For puffs/FUSE please also look at:

	 http://netbsd.
org/docs/misc/puffs.html

okay

Oh, I would really appreciate to have documentation about
wedges/gpt!
But this is also  NetBSD-current/5.0, or not?
So it's maybe not yet suited for the guide - but of course
somewhere else!


> setup booting from partition.

okay


Many, many thanks for your support!
