There's a lot of good info here. Thanks, and I will check out the SSH keepalive settings. To update, I did finally solve my problem, although I was in a pickle there for a bit. Ironically, it's more intuitive to me to just do the install the old way (using make buildworld): I decided to attempt to install cvsup from my ports tree and thankfully it worked fine: cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup make install && make clean [Then, I just did:] tar -cyv /usr/home/myuser/7.2-RELEASE-src.tar.bz2 /usr/src/ rm -r /usr/src mkdir /usr/src rm -r /usr/obj cvsup my-supfile that gave me a fresh copy of the FreeBSD RELEASE-7.2 source tree (my-supfile had the correct release engine specified), and cleaned out any garbage that might have been in the /usr/obj directory [then:] mergemaster -pv env -i make buildworld nextboot -k GENERIC make buildkernel make installkernel shutdown -r now [log back in as su, then] mergemaster make installworld shutdown -r now [log back in as su, then] uname -a and get a nice listing that I'm running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 I'm guessing this method will work no matter what as long as you can install cvsup. Nice that I can do it over SSH too! Now to build a custom kernel!
