Whoa!
WARNING: You are about to install an ELF kernel for the first time!
Would someone care to explain why I got this message?
I just installed FBSD 3.4 from the cdroms, added the pcm0 driver
and rebuilt with the following commands.
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
make depend
make
make install
The last command - make install - gives the warning stated above.
Plus
"Please be sure you have upgraded your bootblocks and/or /boot/loader
so that you can boot it...."
The puzzling thing is that I just installed 3.4, using the same cdrom,
on a system, and rebuilt the kernel 4 times, with no problems.
Did I forget something in this install?
I visited www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
and could not decipher what I was to do to get the bootblock updated.
Here is the dmesg
