Greetings,

I just CVSUPed my 3.0-Release with the RELENG_3 tag.  Then I did a
makeworld and makeinstall.  I also compiled a custom kernel.  All the steps
went fine, no errors of any kind, but when I typed make install (for the
kernel) I received a message that said I should ensure my /boot/loader can
handle ELF kernels.  I went ahead and did the make -DFORCE install and
rebooted.  Needless to say, I cannot boot with the kernel I made, however I
can boot kernel.GENERIC.

Is 3.0 an ELF system?  I was under the impression that it was.  Also, is
the system I just made buy CVSUPing and rebuilding an ELF system?  Just out
curiosity I made a simple C program and compiled it.  I got an a.out binary.

I have seen many references on the web site to commands like aout-to-elf
and such.  Is this a step I have to perform?

Thank you,
Matthew
