Hi David,

thanks for your hints. My build finishes with:

install ===> sys/ufs/ext2fs
install ===> sys/uvm
(cd /storage/usr/src/share/man && /usr/src/tools/bin/nbmake makedb)
/usr/src/tools/bin/nbmakewhatis /storage/NetBSD_1.6.2/usr/share/man

distel# ./build.sh -O /usr/src/obj -D /storage/NetBSD_1.6.1_current -T
/usr/src/tools kernel=GENERIC

The last line is the command executed taken from shell history.
The destination of the build is /storage/NetBSD_1.6.1_current, but the
directory
/storage/NetBSD_1.6.1_current/usr/src and below doesn't exist. Could it be,
that the build tries to build
the kernel there, but can't because the directory doesn't exist?

I'm tempted to build the -current kernel by using 'make depend' and 'make',
though I'd like to get the
build and update process running to follow -current.

Kind regards,

Alex.
