I'm trying to figure out a way to update NetBSD on one machine
and install the new kernel and userland on other machines.

Here's what I did:

On the build machine I created /usr/export/ and put src and xsrc in it.
I created /usr/export/builds/i386/obj and /usr/export/builds/i386/tools.
This machine exports /usr/export read-only.

=46rom the root of the source tree:
 cd /usr/export/src/

Build the toolchain:
 sh build.sh -O ../builds/i386/obj -T ../builds/i386/tools -U -u tools

Build the distribution:
 sh build.sh -x -X ../xsrc -O ../builds/i386/obj -T ../builds/i386/tools -U=
 -u=20
distribution

Build the kernel:
 sh build.sh -O ../builds/i386/obj -T ../builds/i386/tools -U -u=20
kernel=3DGENERIC

On the client machine I mount /usr/export of the build machine in /mnt

Installing the new kernel is easy.
The problem is when I try to install the userland.

 mount build_machine:/usr/export /mnt
 cd /mnt/src
 su
 sh build.sh -x -X ../xsrc -O ../builds/i386/obj -T ../builds/i386/tools -U=
=20
install=3D/
=3D=3D=3D> build.sh command:=20
build.sh -x -X ../xsrc -O ../builds/i386/obj -T ../builds/i386/tools -U=20
install=3D/

eval: cannot create /mnt/src/../builds/i386/tools/bin/nbmake-i386: permissi=

Is this possible to do it that way or should I build a release?
