The instructions in UPDATING are the following To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current 4.x-STABLE ---------- make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster [2] reboot And smmsp will not be added until after the installworld, which won't complete because smmsp is missing.
