Rebuilding the Kernel

[Mark Luxton]

Hi all,

So I can get it right in my head (now there's a challenge).  The correct 
steps for building a custom kernel is:

   1) update sources
   2) rm -rf /usr/obj/*
   3) make buildworld
   4) edit kernel config file
   5) make buildkernel
   6) make installkernel
   7) reboot
   8) make installworld
   9) mergemaster

Many Thanks

Mark.

PS:  Sorry for sending it twice, I hit the wong button and it was sent 
before I had chance to finish.
