This works, but it is not safe. The documented procedure is: # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=mykernel # make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernel # mergemaster -p # shutdown -r now reboot to single user mode! # adjkerntz -i # swapon -a # mount -a -t ufs # cd /usr/src # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot The added reboot allows you to confirm that the new kernel is OK before installing the new system. If you have installed world and then cant boot the new kernel, you might being very bad shape, depending on what has changed between the new and old system. -- R.
