Here is If I remember correctly, the book didn't have you do the sequence cd /sys/i386/conf config NOV2000 cd /sys/compile/NOV2000 make depend make make install You will catch a lot of flak for sending HTML based email to a unix list.

I don't know you and I don't save files from strangers on my system. Next, I don't think the K6 is considered a 686 class cpu but is a 586. So, if you had succeeded in building the kernel, it wouldn't have booted properly. The K7 is a class 686 cpu. You will have to check with dmesg to see what class cpu is recognized at the boot time. If it is a 586, you will need to add the line cpu "I586_CPU" FWIW, I find it much easier to diagnose misconfigurations if you leave the options but just comment them out by adding a "#" in column 1.
