 * I have a related problem, trying to do just that.  I wanted to run 'make
 * buildworld' on a faster machine, then 'make installworld' on the slow
 * machine that's going to run that world.

That's the right thing to do!  (Especially if the faster machine is an
NFS server with lots of disks and the slower machine is a client with
minimal space....)

 * On the faster machine I created directories /source/hotrod/src and
 * /object/hotrod/obj (hotrod is the slow machine).  I made symlinks
 * /usr/src -> /source/hotrod/src and /usr/obj -> /object/hotrod/obj,
 * then I ran 'make buildworld'.  Now I go to hotrod and mount the same
 * /source/hotrod/src on /usr/src and mount /object/hotrod/obj on
 * /usr/obj, and run 'make -m /usr/src/share/mk installworld' (hotrod is
 * running 2.2.5R).
 * 
 * What happens is "/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/bin/make: not found".  It's
 * actually at /usr/obj/source/hotrod/src/tmp/usr/bin/make.  Instead of
 * /usr/obj/usr/src/... it's /usr/obj/source/hotrod/....
 * 
 * Before I try to work around this with symlinks or something, I thought
 * I ought to ask if my procedure is at all close to correct.

You can work around it with symlinking backwards, but you really don't 
need to do anything special as long as you mount the filesystems on
the same path on the server and client.

In this case, just mount /source/hotrod/src as /source/hotrod/src and
/source/hotrod/obj as /source/hotrod/obj, then make the regular src
and obj symlinks.  (I thought that was what people normally do. :)
