I eventually found what I needed, by going into /usr/src/UPDATING.
At the very end of this file, you will find the following under "COMMON
ITEMS:"
COMMON ITEMS:
To build a kernel
-----------------
Update config, genassym and go:
cd src/usr.bin/genassym
make depend all install clean
cd ../../usr.sbin/config
make depend all install clean
cd ../../sys/i386/conf
config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make depend && make
make install
To rebuild disk /dev entries
----------------------------
MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before
starting the following:
For N in the list of disks
MAKEDEV N # eg ad0
for M in the list of slices
MAKEDEV NsMa # eg ad0s1a
To rebuild everything
---------------------
make world
Except when it doesn't work.
To update from 3.x to 4.0 stable
--------------------------------
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
cd sbin/mknod
make install
<follow directions to build/install a kernel>
<follow rebuild disk /dev entries above> [*]
reboot
<in single user>
cd /usr/src
make -DNOINFO installworld
make installworld
[*] You may need to switch from wd to ad ala 19991210
Apologies if posting this here offends, however, I think this will answer
your question. It has certainly given me something to work with. :-)
Regards,
d.
