Good idea, I can then restore back to the GENERIC kernel if I need to.

My other problem is that I don't want to lose any options when I build my
new kernel.  For example, my current kernel is compiled with the IPFIREWALL
option.  I know this because I am running the firewall.

The GENERIC configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf does not include
this option.  So what else is compiled into my current kernel that is not
specified in the GENERIC file?

Cheers

Michael

It just registered what you are trying to do.

Just make a copy of which kernel in the aforementioned directory you are
running [with a unique/different name, e.g. cp GENERIC GENERIC_original,
and do whatever you want with GENERIC knowing that you have a backup
that you can rename to GENERIC.
