"Applying the patches in OpenBSD" says clearly that after applying the patches, you can _build_the_kernel_ as normal, which sends you to faq5.html#Building (a broken link BTW) that tells you about /usr/obj. > This is where my unfortunate quarrel with Jacob came from, > when he said I was building userland, and I insisted I was applying errata. Applying errata means patching the files and then building either kernel or userland as normal. Right?
