[ML] It is not that hard. Install kernel sources (sys source package) for your particular version of FreeBSD--I don't know which one since you did not tell, and my crystal ball is out for repair. Once you do that, cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL vi MYKERNEL (and edit to taste; use LINT as a list/description of possible options; use man to find out what devices do--man sio explains sio, etc) config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend make make install reboot Your Windows slice will be /dev/wd0s4 (slices are 1-based, IIRC), your modem will be /dev/cuaa0 if it is COM1, the rest should JustWork(TM). Since I don't know what a K6-2 is, I'd keep both 586 and 686 cpu lines in MYKERNEL > Is it true that FreeBSD was developed using MS Visual Basic 4.0? > (joke) [ML] Hey, careful about that--it is not a joke; it is a fact! If I didn't use my VB4.0 manuals and media to prop up the monitor, I'd have had such a horrible pain in the neck, and would not have been able to use, much less to develop on my FreeBSD box. And, please don't think I'm the only one to have found use for VB :) /Marino > -- > ======================================= > | from Martin, lalala@globalserve.net | > | -Destroyer of Hard Drives | > | -Mangler of partition tables | > | -Data's worst nightmare | > ======================================= > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
