I was hoping that it was as simple as copying the KERNEL file to /KERNEL on the other system. When I read the Makefile for "install", other than changing the owner and copying the file, other conditions were present. I didn't want to guess.

Simply create a /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<filename> file for you kernel (copy the GENERIC one and edit it perhaps), then /sbin/config <filename>, and then cd ../../compile/<filename>. Now the different bit is that you simply do a make depend and a make, _but_do_not_do_a_make_install_. You will end up with a kernel in your current directory. Copy this to the 386. Cheers, Michael PS: Remember that some kernel versions break other apps, for instance the 2.2.8 version of cdrecord doesn't seem to work on 3.1 "Cambria Mike" <mcambria@lucent.com> on 30/06/99 02:06:09 am To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> cc: Subject: Build kernel for another PC Are there any instructions on building a custom kernel for another PC? I searched the archives and didn't find anything. I have a "disk impaired" 386 that I'd like to have run a custom kernel.
