I don't know why they are seeing it. Here's what I did just now
(well, it has been running a while, it just finished):
setenv MAKEOBJDIR /tree-sloth-disk/imp/obj
cd FreeBSD/4x/src
cvs update -PAd -r RELENG_4 (grab sources as of at least
May 30)
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC
I would suspect that if I were to install the kernel, frob the /dev
entries, etc that I'd have a bootable 4.0 system. But since this is
our main disk server, my boss would get annoyed with me for doing that
:-). Since the kernel and the modules built w/o a problem using this
sequence, I would recommend it to everyone.
In fact, I think I'm going to tweak UPDATING to read:
make buildworld
<follow directions to build/install a kernel>
cd /usr/src/sys/modules
make install
cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod
make install
<follow rebuild disk /dev entries above> [1]
reboot
Rather than the current order, since I know that this works. It also
puts the system in an inconsistant state for a shorter period of time
since the modules are installed just after the kernel, rather than
before the build of the kernel starts.
Comments?
