I've just installed FreeBSD on a new machine (I've got it on 3 others) and am having a minor problem. I installed via ftp yesterday (from the ftp.freebsd.org site) and installed everything with no source. I then downloaded the stable-supfile from the examples within the 3.0-stable source tree and used it with cvsup to sync up my /usr/src tree. After doing so I attempted to build a custom kernel. I built the kernel per the instructsions and installed it. When I rebooted I got a neat little "Invalid format!" error when it tries loading the kernel. Just in case there was something silly causing it I did a 'make world' and rebuilt my system. I then reran config and recompiled the kernel (again with no errors) and installed it. I get the same thing upon reboot. Any ideas?
