One can just make buildkernel KERNCONF=LALALA ... make buildkernel KERNCONF=ZAZAZA then nfs mount to each machine to installkernel. Only problem is that you have to do `installkernel KERNCONF=$cornel_config` on each target boxes, which makes fully auto a problem. \ Chen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
