See the handbook or > /usr/src/UPDATING: yes, i knew. but i was updating via ssh, so forget "run in single user". i also know the exact procedure, but i upgrade hundreds of times before today making this procedure and always went fine. i was just wondering if was a "one at a time" upgrade failure OR if THIS upgrade (7.2 -> 8) have this problem. thanks all. btw, reboot without mergmaster and system was on again. mergemaster, reboot and it's ready. lucky me and thanks to freebsd -- Cris, member of G.U.F.I Italian FreeBSD User Group http://www.gufi.org/
