In doing that we just used the base collection from the 8.0 binary releas= e DVD and copied our kernel files to /boot/kernel. We are now doing both in= stallworld and installkernel. The issue I'm having is figuring out what els= e is needed to complete the package. For example, /etc is not part of insta= llworld, as well as a number of other text files. My inclination is to inst= all the base package from the 8.0 binary release, and then update that set = with whatever is produced by installworld. However, when I try to combine t= he trees I get these errors: bin/rcp: Can't unlink already-existing object: Operation not permitted lib/libc.so.7: Can't unlink already-existing object: Operation not permitte= d lib/libcrypt.so.5: Can't unlink already-existing object: Operation not perm= itted lib/libthr.so.3: Can't unlink already-existing object: Operation not permit= ted libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Can't unlink already-existing object: Operation not pe= rmitted and so on. So it's safe to say just merging the trees like this isn't the w= ay to go. What is the proper process to finish a bsd image after installwor= ld and installkernel is done?
