Okay compiling a new kernel on FreeBSD 4.10 test box.

Here is my order of commands-

1. Went to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf

2. Copied the kernel config for the new kernel. I went with a GENERIC kernel so I issue cp GENERIC MYNEWKERNEL to create a new kernel named 'MYNEWKERNEL'.

3. Ran /usr/sbin/config MYNEWKERNEL.

5. Typed cd ../../compile/MYNEWKERNEL to go to the kernel compile directory.

6. Typed make depend

7. Typed make

8. Typed make install

Now it fails to load and I get no access at all. Before I start over is there something I can do to boot using the old kernel?

thanks
