I got bit by this just two days ago. I have one machine that tracks -current. It upgraded to DYNAMICROOT just fine. I nfs mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj on another 5.0-release machine made the necessary adjustments, installed the kernel, rebooted, remounted and began make installworld. It failed. The only thing that saved me was being able to nfs mount /rescue from the -current machine. I then selectively copied stuff from /usr/obj into the respective places to get various 'make install' stuff to work, in order to get to a point where I could re-run make installworld. THANKFULLY mount was statically linked (and make installworld had not yet overwritten it). Yes I still could have recovered this using a cd/floppy (neither of which this headless machine has), but it would have been a serious PITA. -- othermark atkin901 at nospam dot yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);
