Hello Li. This is probably a more appropriate question for the freebsd-questions, but I realize the urgency. The make install will move your previous kernel to /kernel.old before installing the new kernel. At the boot prompt you can specify the old kernel like this: boot: kernel.old This will boot your previous kernel. The boot prompt may look a little different on FreeBSD 3.1. If I recall, it displays a countdown of the number of seconds that you have to interrupt the boot process. Just hit RETURN and at the prompt, type "kernel.old" like above. Good luck. -brian On Thu, Mar 18, 1999 at 09:10:46AM +0200, Li ChunAn (Nokia/Beijing) wrote: > Hello > For my carelessness, I overwrote the kernel file in root directory when I > compiled FreeBSD source codes by the command: make install. but I found this > new kernel don't work properly.
