Ian Dowse e16873dad6 Since revision 1.40/1.41, the default behaviour for mount_nfs is
to give up after one attempt unless a background mount is requested.
Background mounts would retry 10000 times (at least 7 days) before
giving up.

For some situations such as diskless terminals, an NFS filesystem
may be critical to the boot process, so neither the "try once" nor
background mounts are appropiate. To cater for this situation,
unbreak the -R (retry count) parameter so that it also works in
the non-background case. Interpret a zero retry count as "retry
forever".

The defaults are now "try once" for non-background mounts and "retry
forever" for background mounts; both can be overridden via -R.
Add a description of this behaviour to the manpage.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
