This is all you have to do: Assuming no one is logged into that machine other than root. My machines have dual cpus and 2 gigs of ram so -j 64 works really well for me. make -j 64 buildworld 2>&1 > /root/bw.txt && \ make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL0 2>&1 > /root/bk.txt && \ make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL0 2>&1 > /root/ik.txt && \ make installworld 2>&1 > /root/iw.txt && \ mergemaster This short script will do it all. It has worked very well for me. The *.txt files are for your troubleshooting. The mergemaster is tricky and you have to run it without any switches so that you get a chance to read each piece.
