The below example is for SMP, Quotas, and Firewall support.
Sources must be installed to recompile the kernel. If sources are not on the server type:
/stand/sysinstall and go to configure>Package>Sources.
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC SMP
edit the SMP file and add the following under the options section:
#Added options for SMP kernel
options SMP
options QUOTA
options IPFIREWALL
#Enables Firewall
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
#Enables firewall logging to syslog
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10
#Limits logging to prevent syslog DOS options
IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
#Defaults to all open
Save the file
At this point there are 2 way to proceed in compiling the kernel: the old way and the new way. First, we’ll show you the old way.
Old way:
/usr/sbin/config SMP
cd ../compile/SMP
make depend
make
make install
Reboot to load the new kernel
New Way:
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=SMP
make installkernel KERNCONF=SMP
Reboot to load the new kernel
