I installed 9.0 without sources. Now I'd like to try building the kernel (or specifically the mfi driver), so I've tried to get the sources. The handbook says (in 9.55) to use sysinstall to get the source configuration - but that doesn't seem to work and what its trying to fetch seems more like an 8.x source set, I fetched src.txz and unpacked it and sorted out the /usr/src/sys link, and 'make' in the root of that builds the boot code ok. However, there is no /usr/src/UPDATING to check per 9.5, and 'cd /usr/src;make buildkernel' tells me: make: don't know how t make buildkerel. Stop. /usr/src was empty before I set up the 'sys' link (which in my case points to a zfs volume). It seems wrong to m - how can I get sources etc installed so I can build the kernel? (And userspace if necessary - but its the mfi driver I want to fiddle with) James
