Quoting Erik Cederstrand [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Should be tag=RELENG_6_2 ... That should suffice. This assumes you're already running 6.2. As long as you don't switch branches (or choose a date before the branch occurred!), you should be good to go. Erik i would agree with erik's advice,

How to find needed modules for rebuilding kernel

In rebuilding a kernel, how do you know exactly what modules you need? The Handbook is a good start, and a lot of them are obvious (i.e. if I have no SCSI disks, disable all SCSI modules). Others aren't so easy, particularly serial devices, and the pseudo devices. How can I find out exactly
