After doing the necessary makes for that, i tried to recompile the kernel, and ran into this. make install WARNING: You are about to install an ELF kernel for the first time! Please be sure you have upgraded your bootblocks and/or /boot/loader so that you can boot it. Old bootblocks WILL NOT WORK! Please read: http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html for information. If you are satisfied you can boot an ELF kernel, type: make -DFORCE install Error code 1 Stop. I did a make install with the above force option make -DFORCE install chflags noschg /kernel mv /kernel /kernel.old PATH=${PATH}:/sbin:/usr/sbin; if [ `sysctl -n kern.bootfile` = /kernel ] ; then sysctl -w kern.bootfile=/kernel.old ; if [ -f /var/db/kvm_kernel.db ] ; then mv -f /var/db/kvm_kernel.db /var/db/kvm_kernel.old.db ; fi fi kern.bootfile: /kernel -> /kernel.old install -c -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg kernel / The box now wont boot. What I am curious about is that the box started out as a 3.0 release box, which I thought was already elf.
