Make world first, then build kernel, then boot. This is correct. If you've just done major things to the build tools, or even if you've merely changed config(8) in a way that will blow out a new kernel (and this happens fairly often, actually) the make world will fix this for you before you move on to building the kernel. Also, building just the kernel and then rebooting from it (otherwise, what would be the point of building it first?) can truly hang you if your LKMs are out of date. Building the kernel first is therefore NOT recommended practice. Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
