You probably ought to be tracking the -stable list if you are going to use the STABLE branch. Also suggest that you get the very latest cvsup patches that were just released this morning (31aug00). Note that for MYKERNEL above, it is probably wise to use the GENERIC kernel template rather than your own or old kernel file. You will need to alter GENERIC to suit your taste once things are working. gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
