From a post by Mark Owens recently:
From the errata:
o Kernel change information is not saved in the new kernel,
even
though this is claimed to work in the docs.
Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact, but
to the
wrong location. move /kernel.config to /boot/kernel.conf (if
it
exists, otherwise there were no changes to save) and add the
following lines to /boot/loader.rc:
load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
autoboot 5
This will cause the kernel change information to be read in
and
used properly (and you just learned a little about the new
3-stage
loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss).
Thanks to Mark for that one.
