The doc for building the world indicate that the kernel and /etc are not build in the 'world' process. How does one create an /etc from src/etc. There does not seem to be a make target in the main Makefile at the top of the hierarchy. A couple of points here... I don't have a 'working' FreeBSD system at the moment, and because of failures to boot off of a USB CDROM device, I don't have the usual 'installer' running. I was able to use the pxeboot via BOOTP to get a diskless system up and running and was able to compile the world, and GENERIC kernel via this mode. However, building the /etc directory seems to not have much support in terms of Makefile references. Thanks John Clark.
