Hi, it's me again. I've got the machine to run, and I've loaded the bindist and the srcdist. However, every time I boot, I have to give the -c option so I can switch off pas0, which gives a panic if probed. So I would like to build a new kernel; at least leaving out the pas0 probe. So I bought the BOOK. Yes, O'Reilly's SMM. I've read the chapter a few times, only once is the 486 mentioned. I read that there should be a /sys, and if there isn't, then the source should be linked to /sys. So I linked /sys to /usr/src (if I remember); that didn't work, although it said that it was creating a new kernel, I never found it. Then I started from scratch again, repartitioning and install. I copied /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/derek, took out the pas0 entry, and tried it again - config derek, cd ../../compile/derek, make depend, make kernel. Again there were lots of links missing, and it didn't compile. Now, I'd hate to think what a novice would do with the software. There are no hints anywhere as to what to do, how to do it, etc. I've been SA on a Unisys 5000/90 for the last 7 years, and life was a lot easier. Can anyone help, or send me a README or something? Please derek j bamford .\
