Hi,

Thanks for your swift reply.

I've done exactly what you describe above. I did copy GENERIC to P200MMX, and then edited a lot in P200MMX. (I also changed the ident line to P200MMX, and finally I didn't forget to save the file P200MMX.)

uname -a shows:

Code:
root@<my hostname here>:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
At the moment I'm unable to show you the kernel configuration file, because I don't know yet how to transfer it to my Win PC, which I'm using now. However I used the directions in 8.5 The Configuration File only. (I used conservative settings intended for a simple workstation, not a server or anything fancy). As said, there were no error warnings during the whole process.

(I don't know whether it is of any importance, but I just noticed that I forgot to add the "machine i386" line to P200MMX. It wasn't in GENERIC either though.)

Thanks again for your suggestions.
