I'm updating a machine from: FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r331659: Thu Mar 29 12:31:36 EDT 2018 amd64 to CURRENT (as of last midnight. Does this, in src/UPDATING: [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. still apply? (It seems ... irrational ... one would need compatibility stuff going back to FreeBSD 4 to rebuild/update FreeBSD 13.) Respectfully, Robert Huff
