Now how do i replace my old kernel with the new one? And device drivers, do i understand it correctly if the files in /dev are just some sort of stubs pointing to hardwired routines in the kernel and that MAKEDEV automagically creates these stubs for its associated kernel? I realize these might be FAQs or even stupid questions, but i searhed various archives for answers/documentation but i had no luck, the only docs i came up with were general BSD manuals (or tahoe, or reno, ...) so all questions could probably be rephrased: seen any PC specific documentation for 386BSD or docs for fixit.fs? Thanks in advance, Michel.
