It was about unloading the kernel, before loading a new one. I had several requests as i used to help people in my town, and they used to say it was not described in the FreeBSD Handbook >How-To-Repeat: visit the 'if something goes wrong' section of the custom kernel chapter in the FreeBSD Handbook, and it is in the 'kernel will not boot' entry. >Fix: The problem can be fixed by applying this patch to the source file (SGML) of the chapter, which is located at doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig/chapter.sgml (PATCH STARTS HERE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *** chapter.sgml Tue Oct 23 23:12:36 2001 --- patch.sgml Sun Nov 18 22:48:14 2001 *************** *** 1272,1280 **** kernels.
