On the target (client) machines, NFS mount /usr/obj and /usr/src, change to /usr/src, and continue on as you would normally do. (I believe the current "correct" procedure is 'make buildkernel', 'make installkernel', reboot, 'make installworld', mergemaster.) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
