As suggested previously, use boot -c. For future reference, however, if you make changes the kernel config file you _must_ run 'config' to affect these changes the the kernel build directory. > This is important for me b/c it takes 4 hours overall to compile a > kernel on my 486, so if I can save 30 min for skipping "make depend", > that would make me a bit happier. 4 hours?!? Just what are you building? On our 486/25sx it takes ~45 minutes. It's a decently pruned kernel, though.
