Hi! Welcome to FreeBSD! Do you have the whole system sources installed, or just the kernel sources? You should have made this decision while installing. But basically, is there anything in /usr/src other than the sys directory? If there is, you should be using the "new" method as described in the handbook, otherwise you have to use the "old" way. But, the "old" way should work reguardless of what sources you have installed. Where you in the correct (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/) directory when you typed "/usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL"? BTW, don't ever worry about being considered 'worthy' by anyone! We were all in your situation of 'just starting out' at some point, you are exactly as worthy as we are! :-) Don't hesitate to drop me a line with any other questions. Andrew.
