These will not be installed. # cd /usr/src # make installkernel # ls -lat /usr/src/sys/boot/forth/menu.rc /boot/menu.rc # diff /usr/src/sys/boot/forth/menu.rc /boot/menu.rc There was a question about this on the mailing list in July, but the guy who asked did not receive one single answer. Before encountering the same treatment, I decided to make a bug report out of it. After all, it is a behaviour no one could instinctively expect. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 9.1. Then upgrade to 9.2 as descibed in . >Fix: The decision is made in "/usr/src/sys/boot/$arch/loader/Makefile" in about line 100. Instead of a fix, maybe the handbook should be extended by a pointer to the problem. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
