Hey all. I am trying to build a kernel with 5.0-CURRENT. I did a make buildworld, followed by make installworld, then configured the kernel and did a make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL. So far all is peachy. In configuring the kernel, I removed (via comments) some of the devices I know I don't have (specific scsi stuff nothing that said required) and I specified my machine (i686 class) Now, as I said, everything is clean as a whistle so far, but what is the purpose of a /boot/device.hints file? and how do I go about making one? This, of course, is the problem that arises when I try a make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL. I am familiar with the practice of running lilo against a new kernel installation, but is there an equivalent in FreeBSD?
