Or, rather my failure. Tried an upgrade from 2.2.1R over the net with /stand/sysinstall on one of the machines on my LAN. (Minimal - since it is a client for NFS and NIS. However for the purpose of the upgrade it is "deconfigured." Everything is turned off.) Got through all of the small stuff like the /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf conversion, small adjustments to /etc/fstab, and then forgetting the address of my LAN card. I boots but no login. It stops after what looks like the whole boot process right where it prints the date and time. Then nothing. It reboots with a ctrl-alt-del and I can bring it up single user, mount all file systems, and do just about everything I would expect. What Am I Missing?! (Other than brains...) It is right where I had it when I did a minimun install from the CDROM. Thanks in advance! (Now to sleep.)
