When making the new kernel, build it with make depend, then a make,
but do NOT do make install
copy the "kernel" file in /usr/src/sys/compile/<KernelName> to the
other system (via floppy/ftp/whatever) and reboot. That's the new
kernel.
Since you're not compiling for a different architecture, you should
not need to do anything SUPER special

| Subject: Installing a custom kernel on a machine without the sources
| 
| 
| My Scenario:
| 
| I have a 386 with a 212Mb HD, just enough for the minimal 
| installation -
| but not the kernel sources.
| 
| I have heard it is possible to configure, and build a custom kernel
on
| one machine meant for another, then
| copy it over to the one that needs it.
| 
| Just one problem,  what am I suppose to copy over?
| 
| 
| If there is any documentation regarding this problem, please point
me
| there, or if someone has help they can offer me directly that 
| would also
| be greatly appreciated.
| 
| Thank you,
