One serious non-obvious gotcha: /usr/src must be mounted on the same name *after* you've resolved all the symlinks. The same may need to be true for /usr/obj; I haven't tried. Watch out for differences in /etc/make.conf that might cause things to screw up if it changes between build and install. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
