Everything went fine. When I modified the kernel (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf) and remade the kernel (followed the /usr/share/docs instructions) and rebooted, the system would start coming up. Get to the menu screen. I'd choose 1, and it would start showing the devices like normal, then reboot (automatically). Tried to boot single user, and the same thing happens. How do I boot the old kernel ? I built the new one with the /usr/sbin/config, make depend, make,make install sequence. thanks, Darryl
