Hi,
Having got my custom-kernel built with integral Compaq RAID support to
compile, (thanks to J Lemon) I have now moved onto the task of trying to
build some boot-floppies for 3.2-Stable, containing that very kernel.
And am again running into problems I cannot fix. :-(
I've done everything I (think I) need to and then a `make release` in
/usr/src/release, and then for my pains end-up with `make' exploding a few
hours later with a syntactic error on one of the calls of `install` --
very vexxing...
(when trying to to lib/compat/compat3x)

*** Error code 64
Stop.

I've also tried `make boot.flp`, in the hope of ducking round the
problems (as the makefile is AFAICT created on-the-fly, and so fixing it
is not going to be a trivial matter) but /that/ seems to be exploding
because of the crypto- stuff...
As you have probably guessed, I am not terribly up-to-speed with this
lark, but cannot find a suitable FineManual to Read re: making
custom-kernel boot floppies :-)
Any help, and/or checklist of things I should/shouldn't have done, or
advice on how to fulfil my primary aim, of a set of boot-floppies
containing my custom-kernel so I can actually install FreeBSD on my
Compaq, would be most welcome,
Cheers
James
