Yup. This is what I've done:
Installed 4.0-R from iso
cvsup'd
/stand/sysinstall
Configure->Distributions->src->sys
cp GENERIC MACHINENAME
removed lines at beginning of MACHINENAME
{
cpu I386
cpu I486
cpu I686
ident GENERIC is now MACHINENAME
}
/usr/sbin/config MACHINENAME
cd ../../compile/MACHINENAME
make depend
and I get:
make: don't know how to make ../../../include/stddef.h. Stop
Which is where I get stuck ;7)
