The approach I've tried several times now goes as follows (following the outline of https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html): Since I use ZFS, I base my installation work on boot environments (I use bectl) On 12.2: 1. cd /usr/src , svn up 2. make buildworld 3. make buildkernel 4. create a new boot env, 5. make installkernel into new BE, reboot into new BE 6. make installworld 7. mergemaster [ this may a be a bit imprecise in the details, I do this only once in a while ] The problem with this approach is that when I reboot (step 5b), none of the ZFS volumes (except "/") is mounted, therefore no $HOME, therefore no X. So ... I'm probably doing something wrong, I just don't know what. I'd be surprised if I were the only one trying this approach ... so, does anyone have (a link to) a tested recipe to address this kind of problem?
