config GENERIC error

Shane for current, you use tag=. , and for -stable something like tag=OPENBSD_4_3 release is what ships on cd.

Yes, but as Dorian noted, that is the 4.4-beta current, so you would download the current snapshot first. My suggestion was to download the 4.3 release and then update it to -stable with OPENBSD_4_3, which is wrong if you want -current. The i386 snapshot on the ftp sites earlier today had a corrupt kernel file (build 1010). The latest (1011) is fine.
