Hello,
I wanted to build a kernel based on entries in /boot/loader.conf. I happened
to comment out the following line from my kernel config file:
config kernel root on da0
and after doing a "config", and "make depend", the "make" would fail silently. I guess
I really shouldn't say fail, but the prompt would come back immediately without
building a kernel, so in that sense it failed. Once I uncommented the config line
all was well. Has anyone noticed this before with stable. Removing the config line
works in -current. My last cvsup was from May 21st
phoenix.cl.msu.edu:jfgreen> what /kernel
/kernel:
FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #3: Fri May 21 18:27:19 EDT 1999
thanxs ...
#;^)
P.S.
I've also noticed that my kernel is rather large, i.e.:
phoenix.cl.msu.edu:ikhala> ls -l /kernel
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8736632 May 21 18:39 /kernel*
Is this normal? I ask because kernels on my -current boxen are much
smaller even if I staticly link klds and include debug symbols ... :(
