What was that error? P4's features are a strict superset to those of P2 or P3. This error might have to do with something completely different like faulty hardware or damaged data. It was unnecessary to chroot, I think. Try the DESTDIR option: cd /usr/src && make world DESTDIR=/path/to/mnt cd /usr/src && make kernel DESTDIR=/path/to/mnt mergemaster -D /path/to/mnt You'll also need to set the disk active. Try something like "fdisk -a /dev/ad1", but I'm not experienced in this wizardry. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
