5.3 and building world
Alright so when upgrading to 5.3 from 5.2 I cvsuped the source which obviously got GENERIC overwritten. My question is, besides the instructions on /usr/src/Makefile(?) is there another way to update the source and be able to specify a custom kernel?

There is a whole chapter on configuring your own kernel. They show you how to cp GENERIC to your own name and then use it. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html They show you both the config way and the new build[install]kernel way of maintaing your kernel. I log everything and have the individual commands in shell scripts so that a mistake won't do something unexpected.

Re: 5.3 and building world
Yep, I know enoguh to read through the handbook, the problem lies in the fact that if I use make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL I get a stop error which says I have to buildworld first (even though I have before this step). Thats the reason for the question. But thanks anyway Cheers!

You need to figure out why buildkernel can't find the obj files in /usr/obj. If you already have a current installed world with a generic kernel, you can use the config MYKERNEL way of building a new kernel. Kent Cheers!

Re: 5.3 and building world
Yeah thats the thing, I guess I should actually paste the error and the sequence. I'll do that when I get home. Cheers!
