agreed. i remember the cutting-edge section was strangely twisted
when i read it... over a year ago. i had to jump back and forth
through the page as the steps were listed out of order with all too
frequent digressions.
when it turned out that rebuilding the system is a 9-step procedure,
i was wondering why it had to be so painful. :)
1 # su
2 # cd /usr/src
3 # make update
4 # make buildworld
5 # make buildkernel KERNCONF=<the-file-with-your-kernel-config>
6 # make installkernel KERNCONF=<the-file-with-your-kernel-config>
7 # make installworld
8 # mergemaster -si
9 # shutdown -r now
