If you didn't follow those directions, you should read and follow them in the future. If your GENERIC file is hosed (I can only assume this from your post) you can use cvsup to get a new GENERIC file, or download it from the ftp site. Read the handbook sections on building custom kernels and cvsup. If you don't have the handbook installed on your system, or don't know how to access it, follow the link off the main page http://www.freebsd.org -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
