Here's what I do, starting from a machine that has been customized
enough to be part of our network, but for which I haven't yet built a
custom kernel. For the purposes of illustration, I'll call the machine
"box"; I'll enclose meta-actions in square brackets -- anything else is
(literal) commands:
0. [Login as myself.]
1. cd /sys/i386/conf
2. sudo mkdir RCS
3. sudo cp GENERIC BOX
4. sudo ci -u BOX
5. sudo co -l BOX
6. sudo vi BOX
[I may have another window open with /sys/i386/conf/LINT viewable in
it, for reference. I may also have another window in which I can
see the output of "dmesg", so I know what devices were found during
the boot-probe.]
7. sudo ci -u BOX
8. sudo config BOX
9. cd ../../compile/BOX
10. sudo make depend && sudo make && sudo make install && sudo reboot
Once this has been done for the first time, steps 2 - 4 are no longer
needed.
Hope this helps,
david
