Hi,

I setup a virtual machine (using VirtualBox) with OpenBSD-4.9's install.iso.  
I scp'ed the tar.gz that I downloaded from github to the virtual machine.

I than logged in (as root) from the "console" and extracted the tar.gz and  
run the commands (still as root) with
./build-release.sh
./build-kernel.sh GENERIC-RD

Both scripts gave errors which I could fix by adding the ./ to the chroot  
calls.

So, yes, the biggest difference is that I was root. Which for me is  
acceptable on a throw-away virtual machine.

Maybe tomorrow I have some time to try again using sudo if you like; but  
would adding ./ be a goodthing to anyway?

I'm happy eitherway.. I, already, greatly appreciate your work (and the work  
done by previous contributors)!

Mark
