You need to upgrade your system to 4.2-RELEASE and then build a 4.2 kernel. To upgrade your system to 4.2-R using source code: 1) use cvsup to grab the 4.2-R source (tag=RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE) 2) cd /usr/src 3) make world 4) edit kernel configuration file 5) make buildkernel KERNEL=<insert kernel config name here> 6) make installkernel 7) manually upgrade the files in /etc or use mergemaster 8) reboot You can find more detailed information about this process in the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook). -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
