Just to provide a different viewpoint, I do it the opposite way. I do a buildworld & buildkernel on my workstation (which is a nice, fast box), then do the installation tango on a K6-2 test box that mounts /usr/src and the file system that /usr/obj is a symlink to. If the test box boots and everything works fine, I'll then go back to my workstation, and go through the installation tango with it as well. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
