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...

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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
