Close and probably functional, but I would suggest: cvsup cd /usr/src make buildworld make kernel KERNCONF=your-custom-kernel reboot to single-user mode (boot -s ; fsck -p ; mount -a -t ufs) cd /usr/src make installworld mergemaster reboot. The KERNCONF is only used to build the kernel, so it's not needed for the other "make" lines. I don't see the '-u' option in the fsck man page, but '-p' will do the trick. I also don't use "swapon" as the install process should not swap unless your system has VERY limited memory. If it does, I'd suggest "swapon -a". R.
