Having that default makes it way too easy to shoot yourself in the foot, it will be manditory to specify a KERNEL=. The install target will be corrected to behave the same way that the old install target from the kernel build directory does. That means it will do the kernel->kernel.old and install over /kernel. The current way makes it overly complex and error prone. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
