At the point where you have your 4.0 kernel in place: boot single user. (a normal boot paniced with a page fault, like your computer). Then manually issue the mount commands: mount /dev/wd0s1a / (this will make / read/write) mount /dev/wd0s1f /usr mount /dev/wd0s1e /var When I did a 'make -DNOINFO installworld' as suggested in UPDATING, it exited at the point where genassym had to be installed... no surprise actually, because of the 'clean' target used there earlier. So I did genassym and config again and then the installworld succeeded. Then it was business as usual: mergemaster, reboot, etc. Also, I pkg_delete'd the openssh port and moved the openssh config files to their new place in /etc/ssh. The machine now rocks as usual :-). Oh yes, I couldn't get the GENERIC kernel to build. But I will try again with Ruslan's suggestion posted here. Good luck! Karel.
