Make upgrade will make world twice already, no need for one more... :-) > edit your kernel config (probably just want to start from scratch with new > GENERIC) Starting from the scratch is better. The upgrade target will give you a so-so kernel configuration file. > make new kernel and install > reboot A reboot with a new world, a new /etc, and *not* a new kernel is definitely not warranted. But the upgrade target goes through the process of creating a new kernel. If it does not, do not reboot up there.

Not needed, but will save you a lot of trouble. -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) dcs@newsguy.com dcs@freebsd.org "Proof of Trotsky's farsightedness is that _none_ of his predictions have come true yet."
