Correct steps to recompile kernel

[Stephen Liu]

Hi all folks,

FreeBSD 5.2
===========

I am trying to learn recompiling kernel. I visited
following link;
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS...g-building.html

But I am still not very clear of the correct steps to
be taken. I suppose taking following steps

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# cp GENERIC GENERIC.bak
# cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
# ee MYKERNEL
(modifying the kernel)

# config MYKERNEL
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MYKERNEL
(Are the above directories correct???)

# make depend
# make
# make install

check /etc/rc.conf to have the line:
linux_enable="YES"
reboot PC

Any further steps needed to be taken thereafter?

If I am wrong please correct me. TIA

B.R.
Stephen Liu
