Just do cd /mnt/main_machine/src make installworld Even better, though, would be to change the way you're using mount: mkdir /usr/src mkdir /usr/obj mount -t nfs -o soft,intr main_machine:/usr/src /usr/src mount -t nfs -o soft,intr main_machine:/usr/obj /usr/obj The options specified will help if the nfs server goes away in the middle of what you're doing, but they're not the issue here.
