Yep: 1. make buildworld 2. make buildkernel (add KERNCONF=mykernel to /etc/make.conf) 3. mergemaster -p 4. make installkernel 5. shutdown -r now and boot into single user 6. mount -a (if /usr/src and /usr/obj resides on their own partitions) 7. mergemaster 8. make installworld 9. reboot I usually omit 5 and 6 because most of the time it works fine. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
