NetBSD 1.6

I'm trying to set myself up a little email server, and I thought I'd 
grab 1.6.  It's an old Pentium 60mhz hunk o' junk.  The problem 
lies in the network.  I'm running an NE2000 ISA (ne* driver), and I 
found the problem that I'm having listed on the NetBSD i386 FAQ.  
Unfortunately, I can't seem to fix it by following the directions given. 
 I'd like to just make a new kernel and do it that way and stuff, but I 
don't know how to do it using the boot floppies that I grabbed from 
the ftp.  Anybody got ideas?
