I've edited the correct GENERIC file (I'm on an i386 box). Don't edit GENERIC. It's very rarely a good idea. If you spend some time to fine tune GENERIC to your own particular setup, matching your own preferences, you may be surprised in a very bad way after the next CVSup run, when all your local modifications are blown away by CVSup as it updates your 'GENERIC' configuration to the official GENERIC status. It is a *FAR* better idea to copy GENERIC and edit a copy. Most of the time I even go as far as copying GENERIC _outside_ of the `/usr/src' tree, i.e. in `/root/kernconf/LOCAL' and symlink that file inside the source tree, i.e. at `/usr/src/sys/i386/conf'. > Are these commands sufficient? > > make buildkernel > make installkernel Not necessarily. > or do I need to redo all this? > > make buildkernel > make installkernel > sh /etc/rc.shutdown > pkill sendmail > pkill syslogd > mergemaster -p > make installworld > mergemaster > reboot > /usr/local/bin/portmanager -u -f -l -y > make delete-old-libs Why are you running `/etc/rc.shutdown' manually? Why are you using `pkill' on Sendmail and syslogd?
