I was hoping also to reduce the size of the kernel, as I had done with 2.2.8. However, this is what happens: freebsd [8:32] ~ >ll /kern* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8036865 Sep 12 16:26 /kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 May 15 03:11 /kernel.config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2329748 May 18 14:05 /kernel.safe "/kernel.safe" is the original 3.2 as a result of the upgrade and is 2.3MB. "/kernel" is my build, and is 8.0MB. If I rebuild the 3.2 GENERIC as supplied, I get: freebsd [9:36] /usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC >ll kernel -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10957953 Sep 13 17:37 kernel that is, a file of 11.0MB! Where does the nice little 2.3MB kernel come from, and how can I make one with my bits in it? Thanks.
