Otherwise you run the risk of using a config program that isn't correct for the kernel you're building. > > It's best to script the building, it makes it a lot easier. > > You may also like to read Nik Claytons tutorial on building the world. > Have a look at <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/>. >From this very document: You should build your new kernel after you have completed make world (or make installworld). If you do not want to do this (perhaps you want to confirm that the kernel builds before updating your system) you may have problems. These may be because your config command is out of date with respect to your kernel sources. In this case you could run # /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/config KERNELNAME to build your kernel with the new version of config. This may not work in all cases. It is recommended that you complete make world (or make installworld) before compiling a new kernel.
