At least, that's the way it's worked in the past, and something I've used quite a bit on FreeBSD 7-9. I always have GENERIC and a custom kernel listed in KERNCONF, with my custom kernel listed first. KERNCONF="FIREWALL GENERIC" for exmaple. That way, my custom kernel is installed as /boot/kernel, and GENERIC is installed as /boot/kernel.GENERIC, which provides me with a fall-back in case I screw something up with my custom kernel (happens frequently). :) I used to do it manually using two separate installkernel steps using an env var to specify the installation directory (/boot/GENERIC) (forget the name of that var right now), but switched to using the automatic installation behaviour when it became available. Simplified things a bit. I haven't compiled a kernel on 10+ yet; hopefully the behaviour hasn't changed. ;) -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
