I am no expert, and I haven't really followed this thread, but wasn't it
recommended to:
make buildworld
make and install new kernel
make installworld
when upgrading 3.4 to 4.0?
Otherwise, (as per the handbook) the order is:
make buildworld
make installworld
update /etc and /dev (and optionally /stand)
make and install new kernel
Also: FYI, www.freebsddiary.com shows an ordering that puts the /etc and
/dev updates (via mergemaster) *AFTER* making and installing the kernel.
(I'm not sure if that is correct procedure, or if it matters, but it differs
from the handbook)
John
