If that's all you did, then yes.

Don't use DESTDIR=/, it can make a mess of things.

Try "./build.sh -D /your/destdir -T /usr/tools -O /usr/obj" and that
should build the whole world. I'm not familiar with the -k option, so you
can use it, or you can use /usr/tools/bin/nbconfig on the kernel file, and
/usr/tools/bin/nbmake-MACHINE (i386, macppc, etc.) to actually build the
kernel.

Luke also recently added an option, which I haven't had a chance to use
yet, to install the files from DESTDIR to /. Thus you can do the
equivalent of FreeBSD's buildworld and installworld.

Take care,
