Hi folks,
I'm a newbie and the jargon sometimes throws me for a loop (or is that
`into' a loop?)
At any rate, in spite of the warning in the little booklet in my new
2.2.8 CD set, I tried to use /stand/sysinstall to upgrade my home
system from 2.2.6.
I thought I was doing pretty good, till I got to the screen messages
advising me to "meld" the device drivers into the version.
Is there any direction out there about how to do that?
What I did was reboot, using the kernel.prev, cause the new GENERIC
kernel wouldn't let me in, and the screen is now blinking while I
attempt to force it to boot any other way.
Then I did a "make global" hoping that the upgrade process made
appropriate entries in appropriate places.
( Cut that out! Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not nice to
laugh at the simple minded?)
Paid my $20 for new CD
So here I sit all broken hearted,
Gleefully installed my new FreeBSD
and it only ______ ( Cowboy joke here)
So, can anyone advise me please?
