I was trying to build a kernel with statical device hints by uncommenting the following line in my kernel configuration file: # To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints hints "VT.hints" # Default places to look for devices. Before doing this I moved /boot/device.hints to another location. when I do #make install I get You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/VT. Why do I need /boot/device.hints if I have the hints in the kernel? thanks anton
