Then, I cvsup'd to RELENG_4_3 and the latest ports. I finally reinstalled everything that I need from ports. I thought of doing it with a cvsup and decided that the easiest thing for me would just be the course I followed above. From what I've seen in the past with using cvsup and cvs in similar situations, backing out broken changes from checked out sources, you should be able to do what you want with no problems. Make sure that you remember to run mergemaster after doing the make installworld. This will guarantee that you get the right devices and configuration files. You'll probably want to install the "new" versions of any files it asks you about and go back and edit them by hand, or replace them from back ups, with your local changes.
