Not any major modifications, I just commented out a few devices which I do not have and copied over a few items from the Notes file. I just ran freebsd-update to pick up security patches. It fetched and installed without any problems. However, freebsd-update let me know that it did not update the kernel because it had been modified locally. What do I need to do now to update the kernel? Do I need to use csvup to update the GENERIC and NOTES files, then recompile and reinstall? Thank you, Ned
