This message is telling you two things. 1) You have an error on line 25 of MYKERNEL 2) When you go to build your kernel, you need to do a 'make depend' before you do a 'make'. (These two steps compile your new kernel.) Since you appear to be new at this, you should review http://www.freebsd.org/handbook, in particular, section 7 (Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel.) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
