The proper way is: make buildworld make kernel (KERNCONF=3DYOURKERNEL) if custom reboot to single user If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the space bar at the boot pro= mpt boot kernel.old If the new kernel boots OK mount -a cd /usr/src make installworld mergemaster exit The main thing is you don't want to install the new userland before finding= =20 out if the new kernel boots. If you install the userland it's very possible= =20 that your old kernel may not boot either. Then you're looking at=20 re-installing the system so you can restore from backups. I've had to do th= at=20 and while not hard, is very time consuming. Plus I lost everything between= =20 when I backed up and the date I restored. Also, please don't top post.
