Hello,
I would like to compile the latest FreeBSD release (amd64) so that I can import my current ver. 28 zfs pool in the FreeBSD DomU.
I am a little confused, and am not finding the answers online. (I have no experience compiling FreeBSD kernels)
I tried building an amd64 kernel with the XENHVM parameter, but it would not work in Xen. Xen complained that the kernel I was using was not a Xen enabled kernel.
I checked the FreeBSD
handbook about building custom kernels, and all I see is info on how to setup the kernel config file for i386 architecture.
My questions are:
1) Do I edit the config file in ..../amd64/conf directory, or the ..../i386/conf directory irrespective of whether I am building an 64 bit or 32 bit kernel?
2) Can I add the XENHVM parameter to the config file, in which case how?
3) How do I go about compiling the 64 bit kernel?
Sorry for the noob questions, but I could not find this info online.
Thanks and best regards
Sandi
