'make kernel' is equivalent to 'make buildkernel + installkernel', just like 'make world' is equivalent to 'make buildworld + installworld'. The latter can be dangerous, but the former usually isn't. One process is: [csup, etc.] make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel [reboot single user] [mergemaster -p if necessary] make installworld mergemaster [reboot] [ports or other stuff] If you wish, the 'make buildkernel' + 'make installkernel' can be replaced with 'make kernel', which does them both in sequence with one command. -- greg byshenk - gbyshenk@byshenk.net - Leiden, NL
