After updating the sources the following three things need to be done: #make world #make buildworld KERNEL=MYKERNEL #make installworld KERNEL=MYKERNEL reboot This sequence DOES compile the kernel, does it not? Please let me know if I am mistaken. I used to think that I knew what was going on, but after the recent discussion of the different ways to compile a new kernel, I am not sure anymore.
