I created directory "MYCONFIG" in /sys/compile, and : tried "config MYCONFIG" ... no joy (file not found error). : BTW- I did NOT do "rm -r /sys/compile/GENERICISA" before config ... : had a bad feeling about that. Try this... 1) cd /sys/i386/conf 2) cp GENERICISA MYCONFIG You can now edit MYCONFIG if you want, customizing it for your setup. I added more PTYs to mine. 3) config MYCONFIG Step 3 creates the compile/MYCONFIG directory for you. 4) cd /sys/compile/MYCONFIG 5) make depend 6) make Now comes the fun part. testing the kernel. 7) cp /386bsd /386bsd.old Step 7 is important. You want a backup of a working kernel in case the new one crashes. 8) cp 386bsd /386bsd 9) Sync the drives and reboot. Hope this helps, -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
