I'm a new user to FreeBSD but I have about two years Linux/SunOS
experience so I picked it up really quickly. I'd like to help the
FreeBSD team but since I'm not really a kernel hacker, I'd like to work
on the documentation instead (which is currently pretty skeletal)...
Anyway, the current Users Guide is very sketchy on what options to change
to build a custom kernel. All it says is:
cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
vi MYKERNEL
...
That's it?!? If I hadn't built a custom kernel under SunOS and had only my
Linux experience (where you type 'make config' and it holds your hand
through the procedure) I would be completely lost! Anyway I'd like to
announce my intention of writing a quick guide to custom kernel
building. I just need to know what format to send it in (SGML?) and who to
send it to. Thanks in advance!
