So that the subsequent "installworld" of the same world into the chroot'ed environment will give you a _compatible_ (with the currently running kernel) world.

You know, it's a matter of removing three lines from Makefile.inc1. :-) It does not of course prevent you from building alpha on i386 and then installing on alpha, all that needs to be done on alpha is: /usr/bin/env MAKEOBJIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/alpha installworld Cheers, -- Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sunbay Software AG, [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD committer, +380.652.512.251 Simferopol, Ukraine http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age
