How to restart buildkernel?

[mrjayviper]

Hello.

If in the unlucky chance my

make buildkernel

gives me a error, what are the steps I need to do so I can restart it?

I've searched the net but I cannot find the answer. I've thought of running

make clean

but that would delete the results of my previous

make buildworld

?

Thanks very much

The first step would be to fix the error. There really is no way to restart, but NO_CLEAN can be used to keep, not rebuild, previously-compiled code:
# make -DNO_CLEAN -j4 buildworld

The -j4 means to use four jobs. Most current computers will complete a buildworld faster with multiple jobs. I routinely use -j8 on faster machines.
