You must be upgrading from a 2.2.X system. That's a normal (an unfortunate) problem upgrading from 2.2.X to current. The aout->elf upgrade handles this by saving the reboot program before installing the new one. You might as well just sync the disk and cycle the power. This has worked for me on the 6 or so occasions I forgot about reboot. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
