This question was answered a little while ago on this list. Simply create a
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<filename> file for you kernel (copy the GENERIC one and
edit it perhaps), then /sbin/config <filename>, and then cd
../../compile/<filename>.

Now the different bit is that you simply do a make depend and a make,
_but_do_not_do_a_make_install_. You will end up with a kernel in your current
directory. Copy this to the 386.

Cheers,
Michael

PS: Remember that some kernel versions break other apps, for instance the 2.2.8
version of cdrecord doesn't seem to work on 3.1

Subject:  Build kernel for another PC






Are there any instructions on building a custom kernel for another PC?  I
searched the archives and didn't find anything.  I have a "disk impaired"
386 that I'd like to have run a custom kernel.

Thanks,
MikeC
