Alphastation 200 4/233 w/ 80mb of ram
>Description:
      When trying to compile a new kernel, it craps out with the
error of not having the files net.h, netif.h, bootp.h and bootparam.h,
needed by /usr/src/sys/boot/alpha/netboot/../../common/dev_net.h,
now this prevents me from compiling a new kernel, I tried retriving it
from numerous ftp sites and my FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE CD, there is no pty 
support in the kernel that comes with the install, and this is putting,
a damper on the potential of this machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
      On an alpha arch machine, from /usr/src/sys, try running make depend
, and it will not even be able to complete doing so because of the 
missing header files.
>Fix:
      Distribute the necessary headerfiles needed by the netboot section
in the boot tree of the sys source code.

 To compile the bootstrap code you must have libstand installed as
 part of the slib distribution.  The ssys sources are sufficient for
 compiling a kernel, but they are not sufficient for compiling the
 boot code on any architecture.

State-Changed-Why:  
This is not a bug and is not i386-specific, it is currently by 
design.  If libstand is ever moved into src/sys then this would 
be fixed.  However, moving libstand requires duplicating substantial 
portions of libc and is not really ideal.
