He's fine because he did "make installworld" before building the kernel. At that point, either "make buildworld" or the config/etc. method both use the same binaries. The risky part was running the later world with the old kernel. At that point, ps the like probably quit working. If something that was required to build or install the kernel quit working, he'd have been in a bad way. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
