I did: cd /usr/src make buildworld buildkernel cd release make release MYBUILD CHROOTDIR=/usr/tmp/chroot CVSROOT={path to my mirror} RELEASETAG=RELENG_6 as the man page states. this built successfully then I set my dhcpd parameters to give a pxeboot address of /usr/tmp/chroot/R/cdrom/disc1/boot/pxeboot and set teh root directory to be /usr/tmp/chroot/R/cdrom/disc1 (and exported it) on boot, my netbooting system does in fact boot with an NFS root directory running the correct kernel etc. however what I want is to make it boot into sysinstall rather than booting into init.. how do I make is do this? I did basically hte same thing for 4.11 and it loaded sysinstall. what do I have to do differently in 6.0 to make this happen? I did log into the netbooted system and run sysinstall by hand but it isn't quite the same.. julian
