Pardon me while I ask some newbie type questions.
I just began running -current (it calls itself 1.3K) about 10 minutes
ago, with the goal of getting my 3C905B on line. (It does detect the
card). What I did was:
1) Installed 1.3.3 on a fresh disk.
2) Got the -current source tree from a mirror site
(seems to be 3/20/99 vintage)
3) Built a kernel and put it where I could boot it.
4) rebooted my machine.
I get some complaints from rc.local about not finding things
in /usr/pkg and /usr/local, and the console login doesn't come up
(i.e. the console is now useless as near as I can tell).
But I can telnet into the box.
The questions:
1) What else (or what should) I be doing in order to run current?
2) Now that I have a -current tree, how can I keep it up to date,
can I use cvs, or something else (cvs would seem like a handy thing,
but what CVS server should I use - or do I have an option?)
3) what is up with my console (should I find a new MAKEDEV script
maybe??).
Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I have always run
"official" releases up to this time.
