Hello All,
   I checked the FAQ and saw no mention about what to do after
one compile the 386bsd system.  I used config and created a machine
configuration which matched my current machine.  I did a config 
MACHINE and all was well.  I went into /sys/compile/MACHINE and
did a make depend  ( I applied the make depend bug fixes earlier ) and
proceeded to do a make.  Now I have this wonderful 386bsd file which
until now i have been moing into the / directory.  Is this how it is 
done?  I moving from a System V environment where the kernel configs
were done by a program "kconfig".  These usually created the 
kernel environment for you.  Is there a book which will show
me how to do this.  In particular I need /dev/com2 to show up.  I
dont know what to do.  Do I mkdev with the approp. numbers?  Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks.
