uname -a

Notice the path at the end.


OK, the path at the end for me is:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP  i386

However, when I use uname -i as someone else suggested, it gives me:
SMP-GENERIC

So which do I substitute for MYKERNEL in the KERNCONF lines:

make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

Thanks!
