Dear Sir, I am writing to thank you very much for your help in this matter and say that perhaps your upgrade instructions will help me with the CD problem (BTW, serendipitously, I have generated new slice entries for the disk - sh MAKEDEV ad0s2a etc in this case - and edited /etc/fstab; %s/wd/ad/ in this case). So everything looks sort of Ok except the CD. Now, your instrcutions say - get rid of acd0 - ensure that ata1 is defined in the kernel config file. God willing this will deal with the CD. CVSup is not an option or too much of an option because of a non CVS friendly firewall and CTM (I think) being rather unreliable. Also, I wanted to avoid a lot of sources on the target - yes one can do a make installworld from another machine. Perhaps I should have done this. Thank you very much for your helpful advice. Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft IP Australia Network Specialist +61 2 6283 3189 +61 2 6281 1353 (FAX) Stanley.Hopcroft@IPAustralia.Gov.AU ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mencken and Nathan's Sixteenth Law of The Average American: Milking a cow is an operation demanding a special talent that is possessed only by yokels, and no person born in a large city can never hope to acquire it.
