The 6.0 config won't work on a 4.11 config file. Something similar to the following should work: # cd somewhere # cvs -d /usr/ncvs co -rRELENG_4_11 -P src # cd src # make buildworld # make KERNCONF=MIRALINK.serial_console buildkernel It may be possible to avoid doing a full buildworld if you just need the kernel but you have to build the cross build tools and use them to build the kernel. -- Peter Jeremy
