Summary:	Missing distribution elements when compiling 6.0 kernel

Description Witold Rugowski 2005-12-21 12:10:10 UTC

Clean, minimal instalation of 6.0-RELEASE with following source pagages
-base
-sys
does not allow to make installkernel (missing etc directory or something like this). Adding etc src distribution allows to do make installkernel (without etc it is possible to compile new kernel). In Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html) etc is not mentioned as required part of distribution to install.

Fix: 

Install src/etc
How-To-Repeat: Install minimal 6.0-RELASE with src/sys and src/base, then

make buildkernel
make installkernel

Actually, I think that make installkernel should work with just src/sys 
installed.  I think this has actually been fixed in HEAD.  ru@ would know if 
it has and if it has been MFC'd yet.  I think this should be fixed for 6.1.
