While I do something quite similar, my "build" machine runs a GENERIC kernel, but the "production" machines have their own requirements (& kernels); thus, I use each machine's /etc/src.conf to specify which kernel it ought to be installing for "make installkernel". (To clarfy: the build machine builds a GENERIC kernel as well as each of the other kernels (for the production machines), but only (self-)installs GENERIC. Each production machine installs its own kernel, as specified by its own /etc/src.conf.) Peace, david --=20 David H.
