..... when I first compiled my first FreeBSD kernel I nearly
screamed when I realized I was finished, having been doing Linux
kernels for some time now it was a piece of cake.
(A) cd /sys/i386/conf
(B) cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
(C) edit MYKERNEL via help from /sys/i386/conf/LINT (you should be
in that directory now anyway.)
(D) when finished do the command `config MYKERNEL`
(E) cd /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL
(F) `make depend`
(G) `make`
(H) `make install`
(I) `reboot`
Of course you could string the last 4 commands on one live all at
once but for now this should work fine, kinda makes you keep an eye
on the screen.
Happy Hacking.
