Okay, I did finally get OpenAFS to compile on the fresh FreeBSD 6.0
server, with full sources installed. Simply running a configure for the
kernel didn't do it, I did a full GENERIC compile using the "new world"
ways of compiling.
In order to get OpenAFS to build and install however, I had to go back and
specify this, despite using all defaults:
./configure --with-bsd-kernel-build=/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
It seems that the configure script expects to find the kernel build at
/usr/src/sys/GENERIC, rather than /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC. I wonder
if this is a bug or a lack of understanding on my part of what the kernel
build process entails. I'm a network engineer and sysadmin. I don't try
to pretend to be a programmer too often. :)

I've been reading about OpenAFS for about a year, and administering FreeBSD
servers full time for over 4 years now (wow! Been that long...), and I've
been wanting something to combat the "roaming profiles" that windows
provides, and it seems that OpenAFS would do the trick. Here's what I have
so far:
The server I have set up is approx 3Ghz P4 with 2GB RAM, and a mirrored
hardware SATA RAID with 200GB of available storage. I've set up a pretty
typical server install using about 15GB of that space, with mountpoints /,
/etc, /var, /tmp, and swap. The intent was to use the rest as OpenAFS
space, eventually housing /home for some Mac mini's in a call center. This
may eventually grow to replicate files at other locations, but starting
small here.
I've downloaded both the binaries and the sources, but I'm not clear on
where it all goes. Generally speaking, sources provide "make install" to
set things up for you, or singular statically compiled binaries to place in
/usr/local. This is neither, and I can't find any instructions.
The documentation goes on about compiling your kernel to support OpenAFS,
but after grepping for afs references, I've come up empty. So where do I
need to go from here?
(BTW, I would have searched the archives more thoroughly, but there doesn't
appear to be any search functionality for the archives!)

My 2 cents:
I love FreeBsd .. my first entry into Unix was FreeBsd. I have lots of boxes
that are FreeBsd. However if you are setting up a cell for the first time do
yourself a favor and do it in Linux or Solaris or one of the OS's that have
long standing support. :-) . I expect flames.
