Thanks, I know that's the procedure in 3.x, and in Greg Lehey's
book, but the online handbook that comes with 4.1 seems to
have a different procedure, namely,
cp GENERIC FOO
...then configure FOO however I want...
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC 2>&1 >/tmp/make.log
I'm confused. Will the old procedure work?
