I've just CVSupped the latest stable sources last night, and today I built the world as follows: % cd /usr/src % make buildworld (loads of coffee, lunch, etc) % make buildkernel KERNCONF=FORTUNA (more coffee) % make installkernel KERNCONF=FORTUNA % reboot (single user) # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # swapon -a # make installworld # mergemaster I told it to install the new MAKEDEV, and merge most of the stuff in /etc, the sort of stuff I do everytime I make the world. # reboot When my machine booted, I was welcomed by (Amnesiac) before login, as opposed to the (fortuna.paeps.cx), which I'm used to. After a bit of testing around (a few changes in rc.conf, followed by reboots), I realised that the system just wasn't reading it on startup. Any ideas what might have caused this? Probably something silly I did, but I don't want to do it again, given the amount of coffee I have to consume to kill time waiting for it to let me play with it :-) Thanks for any help! - Philip -- Philip Paeps philip@paeps.cx http://www.vitaya.tv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
