What can I put in /etc/make.conf > that will force "make installkernel" to copy kernel.debug to /boot/kernel? Nothing. You have to modify the Makefile template to define a variable to do that, so that the config-generated Makefile will do that, if you set the variable. Of course, the resulting /boot/kernel will not boot if you do this, as I pointed out before. The boot-loader is too stupid to not load the debug symbol data section and run you out of KVA space in the process. -- Terry
