Message-ID: <1992Jul16.232712.2439@ennews.eas.asu.edu> Keywords: kernel 386BSD Sender: news@ennews.eas.asu.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Arizona State University Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1992 23:27:12 GMT Lines: 23 Hello All, I checked the FAQ and saw no mention about what to do after one compile the 386bsd system. I used config and created a machine configuration which matched my current machine. I did a config MACHINE and all was well. I went into /sys/compile/MACHINE and did a make depend ( I applied the make depend bug fixes earlier ) and proceeded to do a make. Now I have this wonderful 386bsd file which until now i have been moing into the / directory. Is this how it is done? I moving from a System V environment where the kernel configs were done by a program "kconfig". These usually created the kernel environment for you. Is there a book which will show me how to do this. In particular I need /dev/com2 to show up. I dont know what to do. Do I mkdev with the approp. numbers? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. joel berry berry@enuxha.eas.asu.edu -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Joel Berry | berry@enuxha.eas.asu.edu -----------------------------------------------------------
