After all the recent chat following that heads-up about how to build a
world, I gave it a shot and rebuilt my system, gave the buildkernel and
installkernel a KERNEL=MYCROFT setting, and adjusted /boot/loader.conf so
it'd load /MYCROFT. All went well, but I noticed that the kernel build
number reported by uname had changed. It said "FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0,"
while the number had been above 0 before. I rebuilt the system today and
it stayed at 0, but then I recompiled the kernel alone (the old way) and
now it says "FreeBSD 4.1-RC #6."
Does compiling a kernel with make buildkernel not increment this
number? If not, shouldn't it?
