Hi, 

I'm trying to customize my kernal on a new install of FreeBSD 2.1. The 
Handbook says the GENERIC should be in /usr/src/sys/i386, but I don't 
even have anything in the /usr/src directory let alone the sys.

I do have a file named kernel on my / directory and a kernel.GENERIC in 
the same place. I seem to have a /sys directory, but when I try to cd to 
it, BSD tells me there is no such directory. And vi denies it is a file.

Anyway, the Handbook seems to be wrong for version 2.1. Are there 
instructions somewhere so I can get the nonexistant devices out of the 
kernel??


Thanks,

Dale Benzer
