  link_elf: symbol makebdev undefined
  pid 221 (ldconfig), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

I think i read some thing about this from the mailing list not long ago..

problem. Can someone plz help me with this!

i386's used to have this bug.  This was fixed in:

RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/i386/i386/locore.s,v
Working file: locore.s
head: 1.138
...

revision 1.53
date: 1995/06/28 04:42:25;  author: davidg;  state: Exp;  lines: +10 -4
Make path to kernel absolute if it is passed in relative. This fixes
a related bug in some of the new 'foo'boot bootstrap code that has been
added over the past months. This change makes it no longer necessary
for the bootstrap to fix up the path (i.e. it can be removed).


This is still necessary, because at least old bootstraps (and boot2)
don't pass the full pathname (except someone broke old bootstraps
(and boot2)).

You have to write better code. ;-)

It worked for me with my old kernel, but not with the actual one:
---snip---
(53) netchild@ttyp1 % ll -d /boot/kernel*   
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  3072  6 Nov 19:35 /boot/kernel.old//
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  3072  9 Nov 21:57 /boot/kernel//
---snip---

Bye,
Alexander.

The problem has been resolved for some time now. Make sure you have the
