Those instructions include: # /usr/sbin/config -g FREEBIE Mike, take a look at the paragraphs following that line. They explain why Greg thinks you should use -g.

You can remove the /usr/src/sys/compile/FREEBIE directory, reconfigure without -g and proceed from there. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
