You can do the upgrade using 'make upgrade' which does 2+ world builds for you. See http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/make-upgrade.html. However if I understand your situation accurately you might be better off just wiping your disk and starting fresh. Alternatively, if you can get your system to a stable/-stable version of 2.2.8 you should be able to do the make upgrade using the procedure on that page. I wish it were that simple. I just tried doing make upgrade last night with -STABLE, but the build crashed (an error with ioctl.c; there was an undefined function in ioctl.c and another problem with one of the include files; I didn't bring my script output with me today so I can't remember exactly what the problems were.) Perhaps that's because I didn't have 2.2.8-STABLE (just -RELEASE). Thanks for the tip on the cited website; I'll check it out. I've tried starting fresh, but the new 3.2-RELEASE kernel hardware probe hasn't been detecting my primary IDE controller (?); which is a mystery to me. Andrew J.
