Any way that works. Since both methods achieve the same goal, either
one is okay.
Note, though, that work is being done on the installkernel target so
that you can do this:
1) Add this to /etc/make.conf:
KERNEL= AXL AXL.SAFE GENERIC
2) Create a working obj tree and kernels:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel
This step could be automated to run overnight, for example.
3) Install the desired kernels:
make installkernel
4) Reboot and complete the installation with
cd /usr/src
make installworld
The installkernel target would (in this example) create the following
kernels:
AXL -> /kernel
AXL.SAFE -> /kernel.AXL.SAFE
GENERIC98 -> /kernel.GENERIC
You can't do this in STABLE yet, but patches are available for CURRENT.
We're just waiting for feedback from pc98 and alpha users before
committing the code. I imagine that this will be available in STABLE in
a month or so.
For now, this is just another one of those go-nowhere threads that
everyone who likes to see his name in print will get involved in. :-)
Ciao,
Sheldon.
