I cvsup'ed to releng_4_10. when attempting to make installkernel I get the following error: /i386/usr/games:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make KERNEL=kernel install You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC. *** Error code 1 ... this seems stranges since according the handbook device.hints is a feature of 5.x. It does not exist in /boot anywhere. should I touch /boot/device.hints and just let it go? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
