Bob, thanks for pointing that out. The line "You must buildworld before buildkernel ..." is technically correct, but doesn't suggest what the user should do if (s)he just has src-sys.tgz ! As i looked around (prior to your reply), the Handbook had a section which mentioned, """ When only the kernel source is installed, you need to change step 2, above, to this: # make nativekernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL """ thanks Saifi.
