Easiest, IMHO, is to make one, install it, rename it, make the second, install it, rename it. Then at reboot, press space during the ten second delay and say "set bootfile /myfirstkernel" (syntax may be a little bit rusty) to boot the first one or /mysecondkernel to boot the second one. But yeah, to build them just use different files in /sys/i386/conf and all will be fine. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.MavEtJu.org edwin@mavetju.org | Interested in MUDs?
