INSTALL:

mv the new versions of tmp_vnodeops.o into /sys/($arch -k)/OBJ
after first saving the old versions aside as a precaution.

AS ROOT:

mv /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/tmp_vnodeops.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/tmp_vnodeops.o.FCS
mv `arch -k`/tmp_vnodeops.o /sys/`arch -k`/OBJ/tmp_vnodeops.o

run /etc/config on your kernel and do a make. Install the newly configured vmunix
and reboot. Refer to the Systems and Network administrations manual on how to configure
a kernel.
