I kinda figured it would be, but then I haven't yet actually tried the instructions given -- I cvsup'ed just before Kris made the binutils change, and therefore didn't know about the new procedures until I heard others having problems. This should allow you to skip a second kernel build process, won't it? I mean, buildkernel and installkernel are intelligent enough to pull the correct kernel config out of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and DTRT, right? If so, I will be glad to submit slightly updated changes to docs@freebsd.org.
