Note that A/UX 2.0 has TWO different partial kernels called newunix.
The one in root (/newunix) is used only for booting when autoconfiguration
is needed. Unlike A/UX 2.0, it is NOT used in building the new kernel.
The new kernel is built from /etc/config.d/newunix, and this is the one
you need to kconfig if you want changes to stick...

Mind you, SLICE might still get tweaked by something else.
