After installing it, I recompile the kernel a few times, turning on/off the various options. First thing I noticed was a lot of warnings when compiling the kernel. I didn't notice any when compiling 2.1.0 kernels. Most were "implicit declaration" type warnings. Is this normal? Second, after trashing some files, and being unsure of the conseqences (started untarring the Linux compat libraries in /, overwriting /lib rather than installing /compat/linux/lib....) I decided to just reinstall the whole system from scratch. I've done this now, but when I try compiling a kernel, at the end it complains that hw_float from kern_sysctl.o is undeclared. (Forgive me if the name/error isn't quite right, that was last night, and I didn't write it down.) Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the kernel compilation? The machine is a P5-90 with 40MB Ram. I'm installing 2.1.5 on the slave drive of the primary IDE controller. The drive is a 3.1GB Quantum Fireball, and FreeBSD is the only OS on that drive. The master drive on the controller is a 1GB Western Digital Caviar drive. I have a QIC-80 drive, both floppies and an IDE CD-ROM. Thanks a bundle, Brad Mazurek -- bwm260@cs.usask.ca
