I have my FreeBSD checked out in a non-standard location. I have then set /sys to point to the sys directory for this non-statndard location. But eveytime I perform an installkernel, this link is changed to sys -> usr/src/sys. This causes problems when I need to build a port that requires the Kernel src files. My layout is as follows: ls / / : sys -> usr/src/5x/sys : ls /usr/src 4x 5x 6x sys -> /sys With the above layout, I can NFS mount /usr/src on my 4x, 5x, and 6x systems and not have to make sure that /usr/src/sys points to the correct source tree. I have fixed this problem on my system by using the patch in the following PR http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=76362 The patch will set the /sys link to the correct location of the sources during a installkernel.
