Recover old kernel configuration file possible?

C

carmik

Hello all. Seems that after 10+ years I've managed to destroy things in a big way: running rm -rf on /root that is :r

The biggest damage, from the looks of it, is that I've lost the specific custom kernel configuration file /root/kernels/MYOWNKERNEL. I was wondering if it would be possible to reconstruct it somehow, from the last [CMD=]make buildkernel[/CMD] process...

Difficult week :\

Try this:
# config -x /path/to/kernel

That might work. But only if the kernel had been compiled with
Code: 
 options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE
 
It didn't, probably due to the reason cited by SirDice. Oh well, seems I'll have to dig the pf-related kernel options somehow :)
 
# more /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES
# more /usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf/NOTES
where <arch> is your CPU architecture (i386, amd64, etc).
