Follow it step by step... I think you got it wrong. The steps are: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE shutdown now fsck -p mount -u / mount -a -t ufs swapon -a make installworld mergemaster -yourswitches reboot I govern a few machines none of which is very busy, and always short-circuit the sequence to: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE make installworld mergemaster -si reboot -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
