well, I don't know why we should switch i386 to intel..
after all the 386+ series are all base on the 386, but
changing the name to intel sounds okay (unless intel
i960 netbsd becomes available).
as for removing the 386 completely for the name (as you suggested
with machtype) I really would say no. there are many other netbsd's
out there, and they have different binaries. keep the
idea that there is a processor involved. (numbers aren't that bad,
we have sun4bin after all).
if you do want to call it netbsdbin (or nbsdbin) make sure it is
always a symlink to .bin.@sys or something else involving
@sys so that it maps to the correct directory per machine.
