It seems like each upgrade there is one gotcha that I stumble on. Here is this one.

I have a 4.1 box that uses RAIDFrame so I need to compile a customer kernel in order to upgrade. I know this is not supported, but it has worked (minus the one gotcha) for me from 3.6 until 4.1 so I expect it will work for 4.2. And don't get on my case about "buy the CD" I send $10/month to the project for all the great work they do.

I downloaded and untarred a fresh 4.2 src and sys tree.
Then:

# cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/
# config GENERIC
/dev/null:1: syntax error
*** Stop.

I've found only one other reference to this anywhere on the intarweb and there was no resolution for it. I checked both the 4.1 -> 4.2 upgrade doc and the "following -current" doc and there are no clues as to why this is happening. Is it the expat change? The upgrade doc seems to indicate that this would only affect packages.

Thank in advance to whoever helps me out.
