building KLDs in RELENG_4

[Peter C. Lai]

Is there a way to build kernel modules by themselves without having to
build the entire kernel? I am adding umass support to a 4.x machine but
I don't want to build the entire kernel. I already have scbus, but I need
da and of course, umass.

TIA,
pete

Yes you can build modules seperately from a kernel build

cd /usr/src/sys/modules/umass
make obj
make
make install

ok. what about da? i don't have that in my kernel, even though i have scbus.
I think i'm just going to recompile the entire kernel anyway; I was just
trying to not have to back-cvs /usr/src to patch the current one I have
installed. (the more basic problem is i really should be keeping multiple
versions of /usr/src around for different versions on different machines,
but that is a separate problem).

I believe you can cd /usr/src/sys/modules/umass, compile/install/load umass.ko.
