Hi,

Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to building a kernel
on Tru64 UNIX? I recently got a new SCSI card and there is
no driver for it in the booting kernel. I can boot the
machine with the maintenance kernel. I would like to combine
the SCSI card driver with the current kernel.

I have looked through all the documentation that I can find
but I can't seem to get a clear picture of the kernel build
procedure, hence the "for Dummies" request.

Well, following procedure should be enough:
# shutdown -h now
P00>> b -file genvmunix -fl s -(-fl s can be omitted)
# doconfig -a

then copy the kernel (vmunix), and reboot

It is in the system administration guide, see section 4.5
"static system configuration".
Watch the wrap on this link...

This is a 'shorter link' pointer to the same place...
