Whoa! WARNING: You are about to install an ELF kernel for the first time! Would someone care to explain why I got this message? I just installed FBSD 3.4 from the cdroms, added the pcm0 driver and rebuilt with the following commands. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend make make install The last command - make install - gives the warning stated above. Plus "Please be sure you have upgraded your bootblocks and/or /boot/loader so that you can boot it...." The puzzling thing is that I just installed 3.4, using the same cdrom, on a system, and rebuilt the kernel 4 times, with no problems. Did I forget something in this install? I visited www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html and could not decipher what I was to do to get the bootblock updated. Here is the dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc.
