I just can't get what I'm doing wrong. In the past, I've always booted from
the new release floppy and used sysinstall to perform my upgrades. Since
then, I've learned about cvsup. Each cvsup I've done on multiple freebsd
servers are failing. First of all, I was using Freebsd 4.0 and used CVSUP to
upgrade my sources and ports in an attempt to upgrade to 4.3 release and
patch the telnetd exploit. I've pretty much followed step by step from the
handbook at FreeBSD.org

After getting the cvsups I ran from /usr/src in this order
make -j4 buildworld (failed) (random on different servers, one is release
4.2 I was trying to upgrade to 4.3 release which I ended up deleting my src
tree, my objs directory, then  running make clean, make buildworld, make
install world (successfully), then my kernel compile failed) :(

Is there a surefire step by step way of doing this, including support on
configuring the kernel (besides the obvious format/reinstall)?
