I see that now.  But, then how do you build multiple kernels?  I   
maintain all source on one system and build all the kernels  
there.  I  don't want to install them as they won't work.  Also, I

them.


I think you can still use the buildkernel and installkernel targets  
for that purpose, they are still mentioned in the Makefile at least.


I verified that is correct.  Thanks.  I was able to build multiple  
kernels successfully without having to install them all.

Put this into /etc/make.conf:
KERNCONF=   ...

make kernel will build all kernels and install the first one.
