On the machine with enough disk space: make buildkernel installkernel DESTDIR=/nfsmount KERNCONF=otherkernel #hackish and i'd be worried of this. It will force a backup of the running kernel to the remote /boot/kernel.old I'd recommend: make buildkernel installkernel DESTDIR=/tmp KERNCONF=otherkernel tar -czf /tmp/otherkernel.tgz /tmp/boot/kernel # bring the otherkernel.tgz file to the machine, maybe by usb stick, and extract. don't forget to tar -xz*p*f (permissions) How thin on disk space are you?
