errors running make DESTDIR

[Matt M.]

When i run:
make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/root-000201 distrib-dirs distribution,

the last thing i get (and this same line is printed several times) is:

usage: mknod name [b | c] major minor

What can I do to resolve this?

xinstall

[Matt M.]

I keep seeing stuff about xinstall on this list, but I haven't read anything
about it anywhere in any of the docs. What is it and should I know about it?

cvsup current - problems with -release kernel

[Matt M.]

I cvsupd current, and did a make buildworld last night - i didn't do make
installworld - now when i boot my system (when it is initializing the
network) I get a message that is similar to "cannot allocate llinfo for
/kernel" - i tried an older kernel and i got the same message. I am using
DHCP, so I thought maybe there was a problem with that, and I ran
/stand/sysinstall to setup my system to NOT use DHCP and rebooted. Same
message. What could be the problem? make buildworld doesn't actually change
any installed files or settings does it?

My network doesnt work in any configuration at this point.

  3.4-RELEASE a few times, as well as from 3.4-STABLE on the same box, and

  would crash with a signal 12 every time.

 Build 4.0-CURRENT kernel, boot it, THEN do `make installworld'.
