7 hours?!? I have a 166MMX with 32MB SDRAM and it only took like 4...I think there
maybe something wrong here...I was in your same situation though...4.2-RELEASE to
4.2-STABLE. Here's what I did...exactly:
cvsup sources to /usr/src
cd /usr/src
make -DNOPROFILE=true buildworld <- ~4 hours
make buildkernel installkernel=MYKERNEL <- ~30-1hour
shutdown now <- to get into single user mode
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
swapon -a
make -DNOPROFILE=true installworld <- ~1 hour
then I used mergemaster to merge the correct config files (/etc and whatnot)
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV all
cd /stand/sysinstall
make all install
reboot
Granted, this was from a pretty fresh install from the 4.2 ISO, but it wasn't all
that bad.
I know that doesn't really answer your question, but maybe this will help...
