If it were me, I'd probably do something to make the mounting of file systems and such have an explicit reminder as its own step, something like: <reboot in single user> <mount file systems, cd to src, adjust time> [4] mergemaster -Fp [5] I just do not think of such as part of <reboot in single user>: it is already rebooted in single user at that point in my view. Sorry that I missed what was there in UPDATING. However, /usr/src/Makefile has: # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source = tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=3DYOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is = GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=3DYOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is = GENERIC). # [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target] # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader = prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -i, along with -U = or -F). # 9. `make delete-old' # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them = anymore) without such material, even in footnotes. Side notes: "=46rom the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do": "=46rom the boot loader, boot -s, and then do"? etcupdate vs. mergemaster and the $FreeBSD$ issue? Is mergemaster going to stay as the recommented command to use? If so, with which command line options? =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
