Ok, I have to say I'm a bit confused. I ran through the handbook on how to upgrade. I've done this before, but this time I ran into some problems. I ran 'mergemaster -p' before trying to do 'installworld', and the install immediately fails because there is no 'proxy' user. The thing is, the proxy did get added to the master password file in /usr/src. It just doesn't exist (yet) in /etc. So, what exactly should have happened here? I looked on Google and noticed someone else ran into the same exact problem. It seems like you always have this chicken and egg problem when building new OS versions: things required to exist on the bootstrap version in order to get a new version up and running. -Clint
