I'm building a tets machine to explore 5.3 before tackling the job of
changing over a production machine from 4-STABLE.
I've installed (minimal system) and cvsupd the 5-RELENG sources. I plan on
just doing my first 5.x build with the GENERIC kernel. I've looked at the
MAKEFIL, and the README in /usr/src. but I still find myself a bit confused
about the differences in build methodology.
I've used the follwing for years on 4.x:
1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree).
2. `make buildworld'
3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader
prompt).
6. `mergemaster -p'
7. `make installworld'
8. `mergemaster'
9. `reboot'
What;s the equivelant set of steps in 5.x?
