'cd /usr/src', 'make buildworld', 'make installworld', 'cd sys/i386/conf', 'rm -rf ../../compile/mykernel', 'config mykernel', 'cd ../../compile/mykernel', 'make depend', 'make', 'make install', do manual merge, reboot. This has never failed, except when I've used mergemaster, which can make a mess of things easily. How would this method differ from using 'make buildkernel KERNCONF=/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/mykernel' and 'make installkernel KERNCONF=/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/mykernel' ? Both methods install the new kernel on a running machine. Jeff Love Burgh-Com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
