Transitioning all the way from 2.2.6 to 3.0 using just /usr/src is a fairly difficult proposition unless you're expert qualified with berkeley make and the FreeBSD source tree in general. My recommendation, and the way I did this just a short time ago on another box as a sort of demo, is to extract the bindist from a 3.0-snap on top of your existing 2.2.x system and then make the world, a new kernel, reboot. Worked for me. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
