OK, the path at the end for me is: /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 However, when I use uname -i as someone else suggested, it gives me: SMP-GENERIC So which do I substitute for MYKERNEL in the KERNCONF lines: make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, the path at the end for me is: /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 That is GENERIC with except that is has support mutiple CPUs However, when I use uname -i as someone else suggested, it gives me: SMP-GENERIC So which do I substitute for MYKERNEL in the KERNCONF lines: make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make buildkernel KERNCONF=SMP OR, you can do echo KERNCONF?=SMP /etc/make.conf make buildkernel make installkernel In 7.0+ its /etc/src.conf If you ever compile a custom kernel you'd use that name instead. -- Philip M.
