Basically, the usual:
  • $ sysctl kern.version -- should show that you are running -current with a date close to when the snapshot was downloaded.
  • $ dmesg | grep "not configured" -- watch what devices are not identified by the kernel.
  • Read misc@, source-changes@, & tech@ for comments made by the project developers.
As you may have read here in these forums before, the project developers & regular readers of the mailing lists have seen newbie questions again & again. The purpose of the mailing lists is not to spoonfeed the lazy. The readership there is not forgiving of questions which do not show that homework has been done. Be very knowledgable on what the FAQ states on any related subject along with the relevant manpages before posting. Non-project developers do not post to source-changes@. Anyone posting to tech@ without including valid diff(1) output is quickly labeled uninformed.
