The kernel rebuilding process is accomplished using the following steps.

1. Change the directory to /stand/build .

   cd /stand/build

2. Create the kernel parameter system file from the running system.

   /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system

3. Edit the system file to make necessary changes.

   vi system

4. Build the new kernel using the mk_kernel command.

   /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s ./system

5. Back up the old kernel and system files.

   mv /stand/system /stand/system.old mv /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.old

6. Install the new kernel.

   cp /stand/build/system /stand cp /stand/build/vmunix_test /stand/vmunix

7. Reboot the system.

   shutdown -r 0

8. Verify the changed parameters and additional devices using the following commands.

   sysdef ioscan

You will see the presence of additional configured devices and any changes in the system parameters.
