Compile but just don't install the kernel if you want to make the kernel in the old-style (config; make depend; make all; so on), or if you use "make kernel" in the master Makefile, set the INSTKERNNAME to something else along with KERNCONF. For example: cd /usr/src && make kernel KERNCONF=GOTCISS INSTKERNNAME=kernel.GOTCISS Mount the installation floppy on something like /mnt gzip -c /kernel.GOTCISS > /mnt/kernel.gz umount /mnt There you go. > The machines that I can build the kernel with the driver don't > have the controller so I would just want to build the kernel, but > not have it replace the kernel on that machine.
