Idiots guide to Building a new kernel. Step (1) Apply the patches required in the patch kit. Step (2) Rebuild config (/usr/src/usr.sbin/config) cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config make depend make make install rehash (if on csh) Step (3) cd /sys/i386/conf cp GENERICISA MYCONFIG vi MYCONFIG (make changes to this as you will) Step (4) config MYCONFIG Step (5) cd /sys/compile/MYCONFIG make newvers make depend make Step (6) mv /386bsd /386bsd.old mv 386bsd /386bsd Step (7) reboot the machine.
