> In the meanwhile, manually build your kernel.

was there another email i missed?  what do you mean by 'in the meanwhile'?

> cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
> cp GENERIC YOURNEWKERNEL
> vi YOURNEWKERNEL # edit as needed
> config YOURNEWKERNEL # hopefully config is up to date
> cd ../compile/YOURNEWKERNEL
> make depend

cool, so that clears up the kernel.  what about everything else?  is it the
same except i sub what you just suggested for the ./build.sh kernel=GENERIC
bit?
