The system now = boots. I still have no idea what was preventing it from booting. It = was something between displaying the Beastie menu and waiting for user = input. There had to be at least 2 issues as the messages changed after = the first attempt to rebuild the system. I tried to chase down the boot = code for the first error message and it appears to be generated when = there is a problem with a directory. I couldn't find any further = diagnostic info to identify the directory. I have not yet tried to = chase down the second set of messages in the source. The system now says its 9.2. UPDATING still looks the same. = Interestingly enough, on another system that I updated earlier to 9.2 = via freebsd-update, UPDATING there is identical to the one on this = system. There is no 9.2 entry. =20 Also of note is that most of the ports/packages are still present. = However SASL2 vanished without a trace. Its easily replaced, but why is = certainly interesting. I have no ideas at this point.
