Why not adding > vn_load="YES" to your loader.conf and reboot ? 1. No one has given an argument about what is so wrong about explicitly running kldload(8). And before someone says "just remember to run it before you type `make release'", then I'll argue why even have a release Makefile when one could just type all the commands in by hand. 2. At least the way I've been doing the last 4.x Alpha releases I've built (including snapshots), I grab an Alpha, install the latest FreeBSD 4.x I have on CDROM -- blowing away what ever was on the box. Turning the knob in sysinstall that I want Amd. Make a symlink to my CVS repo, ``cd /usr/src ; make buildworld ; cd /usr/src/release ; make release'' So I am using a GENERIC kernel and stock world. I don't want to have to spend any more time configuring the build box then necessary. > Why not making a shell script to kick vnconfig(8) before running make > release ? Why not just put it in the release Makefile. Makefile+make(1) is a glorified script. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
