Follow the instructions of /usr/src/UPDATING: To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current 4.x-STABLE ---------- make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster [2] reboot [1] You can often get away without doing this step as the system will be properly updated. During the running of the installworld, however, system components may break and other oddities may happen. Don't do this on systems that aren't otherwise quiet as unpredictable results may happen. If in doubt, reboot into single user. For remote installs, keep a separate kernel around and use a serial console if at all possible. See also note [6] above. [2] If you do not run mergemaster, you will likely hit a number of show stopper problems. The biggest one is that your /etc/pam.conf won't let you log in using ssh. -- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve -- http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
