If I understand correctly, this method for building the kernel is becoming deprecated. I don't think it even works in -current. In order to remain consistent with the process of building a new kernel when you rebuild the world, the proper method for compiling a kernel is now: 1) Edit the config files, for instance /sys/i386/conf/MYHOST 2) Go into /usr/src 3) Run `make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYHOST` 4) Run `make installkernel KERNCONF=MYHOST` It would be better for new users just to start learning the new method, since no retraining will be necessary later. This method uses the programs in /usr/obj if they are available, ensuring that the kernel and userland are always in sync and built correctly (especially when you build a new kernel after rebuilding the world, but you haven't installed the world yet).
