'mergemaster -p' must be run before installkernel. Actually, you are really supposed to run 'mergemaster -p' before buildworld: -p Pre-buildworld mode. Compares only files known to be essen- tial to the success of {build|install}world, including /etc/make.conf. Though, in reality, there has never been a case where it was actually needed that early. None the less, it can be run then and there might be such a case some day. In particular, make.conf could impact buildworld. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
