Assuming that I've just used vanilla defaults (with regards to CFLAGS, make.conf) and the hardware is identical, is it safe to just tar /boot/kernel and copy to the other machines? Or is there more that must be copied? As I understand it, these two options don't affect userland at all, so nothing other than the kernel needs to be copied... Please enlighten me, MC PS: please CC, I'm not subscribed.
