I don’t recall getting any time error, although it sounds like the classical time.h vs sys/time.h

Also, for 3.9 you shouldn’t need to “set noasync”, it reportedly works fine without. It’s only really required for more recent builds (4.0/git)

looks like I left out a file, the 4.0 boot loader, aptly named boot.

Yes, I added a note on that in the config file, I’ll expand that on this post.

There’s apparently a nasty bug which causes I/O errors otherwise

Other than that, the guide is very helpful in getting it up and running. I’m struggling with network connectivity at the moment though, but that’s something I’ll tackle on the weekend
