FROM: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig- building.html Note: If there is not a /usr/src/sys directory on your system, then the kernel source has not been installed. The easiest way to do this is by running /stand/sysinstall as root, choosing Configure, then Distributions, then src, then sys. If you have an aversion to sysinstall and you have access to an ``official'' FreeBSD CDROM, then you can also install the source from the command line: # mount /cdrom # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar -xzvf - IOnut To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
